Boko Haram Leader Proclaims ‘islamic Caliphate’ In Nigeria by demand1982: 3:04pm On Aug 24, 2014 |
KANO ( AFP) – Boko Haram’s leader said he has created an Islamic caliphate in a northeast Nigeria town seized by the insurgents earlier this month, in a video obtained by AFP on Sunday. “Thanks be to Allah who gave victory to our brethren in (the town of) Gwoza and made it part of the Islamic caliphate,” Abubakar Shekau said in the 52-minute video. He declared that Gwoza, in Borno state, now has “nothing to do with Nigeria”. “By the grace of Allah we will not leave the town. We have come to stay,” said Shekau, who has been designated a global terrorist by the United States and sanctioned by the UN Security Council. The United Nations humanitarian office (OCHA) earlier this month confirmed reports that Gwoza was under rebel control. Boko Haram is also believed to be in control of other areas near Gwoza in southern Borno, as well as large swathes of territory in northern Borno and at least one town in neighbouring Yobe state. Mapping the precise areas which have fallen into Islamist hands is nearly impossible. There are few humanitarian workers on the ground in the northeast, travel is dangerous and the region, which has been under a state of emergency since May of last year, has poor mobile phone coverage. Experts have described Boko Haram’s gains in recent weeks as unprecedented, saying the group was closer than ever to achieving its goal of carving out a strict Islamic state across northern Nigeria. But many analysts believe the military has the capacity to reverse the insurgents’ advance. Soldiers this week refused to deploy to Gwoza without better weapons in an apparent mutiny. ... www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/boko-haram-leader-proclaims-islamic-caliphate-nigeria/ |

am the first to comment? Wow Wow, God bless me and God bless ndigbo world wide, say amen by liking this comment. Bck to the matter, our grt leader and warrior General ojukwu, may his gentle and fearless soul rest in peace, Ojukwu saw boko haram coming, Ojukwu knew shekur b4 he was born, ojukwu knows that islam will go on Rampage one day. Boko haram can not defeat nigeria. Proclaiming of caliphate did nt start today, boko haram did nt start today, killings from our northern brothers did nt start today. Usman dan fodio is the first terrorist in Nigeria and he also proclaimed a caliphate, the sokoto caliphate. The muslim north so cherish his effort and he was named after a university in sokoto, Who is deceiving who? In years to come after boko haram, we shall have shekur university in borno state. In the dictionary of islam and in the koran nothing like terrorist, boko haram are nt seen as terrorist by real muslims. GEJ is nt the reason for the slow persecution of the war on BH, it was the northern head of states(military) that have refuse to procure military hard wares for us over the years due to corruption. GEJ is weak if we want to say so but the north is frustrating his administration. God bless Nigeria and its soldiers. If u feel d military are nt trying pls Join the military. 11 Likes |
