Boko Haram Vows To Distrupt Nigeria Election by mabeni(m): 12:49pm On Feb 18, 2015
Boko Haram leader Abubakar
Shekau vowed to disrupt
Nigeria's general election in a
new video released Tuesday,
after two suicide attacks in the
northeast blamed on the
Islamists killed 38 people.
"This election will not be held
even if we are dead. Even if we
are not alive Allah will never allow
you to do it," Shekau said in the
Hausa language, presumably
referring to the polls scheduled
for March 28.
The video appeared to be the
first message released by the
group on Twitter, a sign of its
changing media tactics after
previous messages were
distributed to journalists on DVD.
Shekau was shown in unusual
clarity in front of a solid blue
background, dressed in black
and with an automatic weapon
resting to his right.
He also claimed a weekend attack
in the northeast Nigerian city of
Gombe, which the military says
was repelled.
The Islamist leader, declared a
global terrorist by the United
States and sanctioned by the
United Nations, disputed the
military's account of the Gombe
clashes, claiming that his fighters
overran troops and freed
insurgents from prison.
Nigeria's general election had
been scheduled for February 14
but was postponed by six weeks,
with the security services saying
they needed more time to
contain the violence in the
northeast, Boko Haram's
stronghold.
Despite Shekau's threat, experts
doubt that the Islamist rebels
have the capacity to disrupt
voting nationwide, although
election officials have conceded
that voting could prove
impossible in parts of the
northeast.
