Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, who is the spokesman of the Joint Task Force in Maiduguri, has asserted that the personal threats of Boko Haram will not distract him or stop him from performing his duties.

In a new video on Monday, the sect’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, accused Musa, of misinforming the public about the sect's attack on Monguno military barracks in Borno State.

“To the little brat called Lt Col Sagir we heard of your claims that your troops, JTF, had ambushed our men on the way to Monguno, killed several of our men and even retrieve four of our vehicles,” Shekau said. “These are all lies unbecoming of a soldier. It is a shame.”

Shekarau said that contrary to Musa’s account, members of his sect “easily invaded” the army barracks in Mungono and killed an unknown number of soldiers.

“We packed unknown quantum of arms and ammunition which was filled in two trucks, we burnt down the excess from the armoury. They left with gallantry chanting Allahu Akbar. Here are the arms in display. We have 15 Browning rifles in our armoury now, all from Monguno barracks.”

He bragged: “The arms we have is enough for us to bring down the entire Borno state. None of our members died as claimed by soldiers except for three persons. But the soldiers we killed in Monguno barracks. But Sagir Musa should continue to deceive the world, one day he would fall in our trap and we will deal with him, since we have his photograph with us. We know all your movement around Maiduguri in a small car.”[/b]

He warned Musa to leave Maiduguri because he will have no place to hide from his group, saying, [b]“You shall see, and you shall see.”

In a terse response, Musa said the Nigerian Army does not produce cowards and that what he enjoys most is serving humanity through protecting lives and property. “I strongly believe that is the noblest act on earth, which no amount of threat will distract, weaken or stop me from performing. The lives of all creatures are in the hands of ALLAH – He gives and takes from whoever he wills.”

Shekau, who on the video is shown surrounded by several hooded gunmen standing upon a pile of different shapes and sizes of arms and ammunition, said the weapons were those his group took away from the military armoury after they bombed Monguno Barracks.

The Kanuri-born Boko Haram leader, who spoke in Hausa and Arabic, said they still have the seven kidnapped French nationals in custody and would continue to keep them until the governments of Cameroon and Nigeria released their members and family detained in the two countries.

The seven French tourists, members of one family, were snatched last month in a neighbouring Cameroonian community before they were transported to Nigeria. The group had earlier released a video of the victims.

Mr. Shekau also warned journalists to avoid phantom groups parading themselves as Boko Haram, even as he officially declared one Abu Zinnira to be the new spokesperson that journalists should deal with henceforth. The group’s previous spokesman, Abu Qaqa, was reportedly killed last year.

this is dangerous o!
if the Emir with all his security protocols could be attacked, what is the fate of this gallant soldier(who is presently being trailed by terrorist following his small car)? i believe he is a father and has family too, may God touch the senses of the military command let them transfer him down south immediately o! ahhh!
before we add another to the long list of past heros.

northeast is on the verge of becoming another Afghanistan, the insurgents are die-hard fighters on suicide mission, the military surge being used has never worked anywhere in the world, ideological/religious warfare is a very dirty game, sometimes never ending. millions of jobless and poverty stricken youths are future recruits, sponsors of bokoharam are not short of funds, more heavy weapons flowing in from the Libyan crisis, the JTF are becoming overstretched, its only a matter of time before we see a full-scale breakdown of law and other.

which way Nigeria?

Azonto dance dey sweeeeet, i'm loving it.

See threatening... Smh!

vanstanzy: I wonder why JTF will not fight hard to exterminate these "UNCIRCUMCISED FO0Ls" so-called BOKO HARAM.

why should they face extermination?, these people want Islamic republic of Northern Nigeria and their people want it too, they should be left alone, Islam is their religion and they want to govern themselves in Islamic way,

Sagir has always been a pain in the azz to boko haram. more grease to his elbow, nothing go happen to am. He just needs to know who his men are because obviously boko haram has infiltrated his command for them to know the type of car he rides around in.

Okiki_Oluwa: See threatening... Smh!

serious one o! backed by trailing too
if col musa was dear to u, what would you wish him now?

Wily/Wily:

why should they face extermination?, these people want Islamic republic of Northern Nigeria and their people want it too, they should be left alone, Islam is their religion and they want to govern themselves in Islamic way,

that is the fact of the matter! this fake federal system of government is not working, the country is just being held together by fiat, and its only a matter of time.
IF POOR MASSES OF NORTHEAST DESIRE PURE SHARIA/ISLAMIC RULE...... WHY HOLD IT AGAINST THEM.... LET THEM HAVE IT, ITS THEIR RIGHT. THE N/DELTA CLAMORED FOR RESOURCE CONTROL, THEY GOT 14%, SO IF THIS PEOPLE WANT ISLAMIC RULE, LET THEM HAVE IT.

more lives are being lost hourly in the north now, and the press can not even report the true picture, because the terrain is damn too dangerous.

i pray Col. Musa is safely transferred to another region away from this maiduguristan!

He should resign and flee the state to survive. The Hungary lion does not play with one over fed.
Boko Haram as admitted by JTF member is resilient warrior hunting for death.
Mr JTF coordinator or commander, please drop the resignation letter and flee, this people you’re trying to protect are Boko haram that you're searching for which make things difficult. They would get presidential pardon if you eventually arrest them but if you lost your life in the battle you will quickly be forgotten like other heroes in the past. The word hero is valuable in other part of the world not here in Naija. My partially deaf major should open his hears now and do as advice.
Nigeria govt. is never serious with the fight of terrorist. Withdraw the soldiers and see if they will continue to kill themselves.

And boko haram has not been crushed or blown into smithereens since?!
SMH .....

The Lieutenant Colonel should resign. Nigeria is not worth dying for!

Can somebody shout peace!!!

Wily/Wily:

and does your post make any sense to you.what happens to the population of Christians in Northern Nigeria?

MODS.... why did you change my thread topic? if you dont know the difference between 'threaten' and 'marked for death' then read the statement credited to the bokoharam leader below..

''But Sagir Musa should continue to deceive the world, one day he would fall in our trap and we will deal with him, since we have his photograph with us. We know all your movement around Maiduguri in a small car. You have no place to hide from us, except you leave Maiduguri town. You shall see, and you shall see''
