Islamist militant sect Boko Haram has revealed that a
purported telephone call made to the African
Independent Television (AIT) by a caller pretending to
be a Boko Haram spokesperson was fake.
A source close to the sect told Saharareporters that the
no one in the sect or any on its leadership initiated a
call threatening to attack Lagos and Abuja in 72 hours.
A Nigerian local TV station-African Independent
Television- had played a phone call in which an
individual claiming to be a representative of Boko
Haram threatened to attack Lagos and Abuja in 72
hours.
The caller also requested that Nigeria President
Goodluck Jonathan unconditionally meet with the sect
in Yobe state, without security, to discuss the terms of
a ceasefire, but our most reliable source said the call
was a prank pulled by individuals capitalizing on the
hysteria created by Boko Haram's recent attacks in
northern Nigeria.
