It will appear that Boko Haram is not relenting on its resolve to attack media houses in Nigeria for reporting what they (Boko Haram) called “false news” about them. The sect has issued a threat in an 18-minute video posted on Youtube to Punch, Guardian, Daily Sun, Nation, Tribune, Saharareporters and many others. They however failed to include the region where the media houses are located but we know that media houses listed for attacks are based in the South while those given warnings are based in the North.
The video message also contains a live coverage of the bombing of the Abuja office of ThisDay newspaper on Thursday by the sect.
Continue to read the rather scary transcript of their recent threat after the cut…May God help us in this country. Amen!!!


This transcript was culled from PUNCH Newspapers...


“This is a message from the public awareness department of the Jamatu Ahlis sunnah lil daawati wal jihad, a group engaged in jihad in Nigeria.


“We wish to explain about the attack we carried out on ThisDay newspapers. Some of the reasons why we decided to attack some media houses, especially ThisDay, is because the paper was used in dishonouring our prophet, Mohammad (SAW), during a beauty pageant in Kaduna in November 2002.


“At that time, some people who called themselves leaders of Muslims came out to say they had forgiven those who committed the offence.


“But based on our knowledge, we know that no one has the power to forgive anyone for an offence that God himself has given judgment, especially on an offence that has to do with dishonouring Prophet Muhammad (SAW).


“No one has the power to forgive this type of offence, and the judgment is for such persons to be killed.


“This lady that committed this crime, the judgment on her is to be killed at any opportunity; and the media house is also supposed to be driven out of existence whenever there is a chance to do so.


“We are just getting the opportunity to attack the media house, and we are hoping to continue these attacks until we drive them out of existence.


“It is our hope that Allah (SWT) will help his religion.


“We know that any genuine Muslim must have been deeply touched by the Thisday incident.


“ThisDay newspaper is also leading in helping the government in fighting us, alongside other media houses that we will mention soon.


“Some of the offences of ThisDay and other media outlets include: firstly, during the botched attempt to rescue some kidnapped foreign nationals in Sokoto; these media houses asked us if we have anything to do with the kidnap and we said we have nothing to do with it, yet these media houses reported that we were responsible for the incident, that was a lie against us.


“Secondly, when we sent a video of our leader, Abubakar Shekau, the media houses reported things that our leader did not say, such as that in response to the president’s threat to finish us in three months, we have also threatened to finish the government in three months. But the truth is, nowhere in the video did our leader say what they attributed to him.


“Thirdly, on the purported arrest of Abu Qaqa by the SSS, we have come out to tell them that the person arrested was not Abu Qaqa, yet the media continue to portray us as liars, and even said that our leader had ordered for Abu Qaqa II to be executed, and we are now searching for Abu Qaqa III.


“Recently too, they came out with another lie that one Mohammed Awwal Kontagora was the Abu Qaqa II that was executed, and that even his parents confirmed it, that was just a big lie to convince the world.


“The media also said that we have killed the father of Abu Darda, so as to pass a message to him, because he had leaked our secrets after his arrest by security agencies, and they wanted him to know that he is one of our targets.


“These are all lies, and they are many.


“These media houses have committed a lot of offences that are detrimental to Islam, and we don’t have the power to forgive them. We will take revenge on them by God’s grace, some of these media houses have been categorised into three groups.


“The first group is the likes of ThisDay whose offences are big.




“The second group we will also attack soon are Punch, Daily Sun, Vanguard, Guardian, Nation, Tribune, and National Accord, which are all newspaper houses.


“There is also VOA Hausa radio. All these media houses we will attack them including their staff and offices, by God’s grace.
