The factional leader of Boko Haram sect, Abu
Musab al-Barnawi, who was recently named Boko
Haram leader by ISIS, has released an audio
statement attacking his rival Abubakar Shekau.
In the audio recording, al-Barnawi said Shekau had
violated Islamic tenets by killing fellow Muslims,
including members of the terrorist Islamist group,
living a life of luxury with his wives, neglecting
starving women and children, and failing to provide
food and weapons for insurgent fighters.
Read the excerpts from al-Barnawi’s audiotape
after the cut
“[Shekau] was boasting that if we attempt
to escape from his empire his men will kill
us. He is a liar. I am not the only one that
left, but eight of us left, all kitchen cabinet
members. And right now two other top
members are on the way to join us. We are
all here. The issue of Islam is not personal,
there is no sentiment in Islam, and that is
why we are here. Nobody can dare us or
stop us from it, no matter how he brags.
Here we are on our own. Can’t you see how
we left your empire? We left women and
everything and just left with guns on our
shoulders. We would have crushed anyone
that stood on our way.
“We said we would not touch anyone but
just go on our way to our religion. We will
fight for the cause of Allah and work
against personalizing Jihad and against
unjustifiable killings and shedding of
blood. We are out because you came out
with your own cassette. We want our
people to know proper Islam because Allah
in the Quran forbids killings without
justification. Just like Allah gave us power
to kill infidels, there are those he said we
shouldn’t kill without reason.
“In the Quran, Allah forbade Muslims from killing
one another…and he also taught against killing in
secret. If it is serious punishment, it must be
public for people to know and witness it. But once
you see killings in secret, there is something fishy
and this is what we noticed with Shekau. What he
is doing is not Islam. He said we should follow
him and we agreed, but we later realized it is
another thing and we said no. We have to stick to
the Quran and what Allah said, not [follow]
someone’s waywardness.
“We have vowed to say the truth. If we will be
killed, let us be killed. If we will be eaten, let us
be eaten up and if we will be roasted, let us be
roasted. We will not leave our fellow brothers in
the dark; this message of mine will get to
Sambisa Forest. It will get into Shekau’s house.
We have agents that will convey the message no
matter how he dislikes it.
“Almighty Allah is against killings of Muslims.
Allah is saying better heaven and earth fall than
innocent soul of a Muslim, but you have Shekau
who likes killing our own people. He is always
boasting that he will kill, he will kill. Okay,
continue to kill, you will also be killed. Who will
dwell here forever? Everybody will die. You will
also die some day. And there is no one that will
die without reaching his day of death. You can see
we are here alive, all of us here sitting. Anyone
that Allah did not kill you cannot kill him. The
same way, you cannot stop anyone Allah willed his
death.
“That is why when someone boasts to kill a man,
the man asks him, ‘Why are you in a haste?’ The
man says, ‘If my time has come, you will not stop
me from going.’ There are several verses that
forbid killing of a fellow Muslim unjustifiably. Our
vow that we will practice Islam is real. That is why
we left our parents, homes, our cars and everything
and came to this forest. How can we then agree
to see you bringing strange ideologies?
“In one of our Shura meetings, someone asked
Shekau how he felt about Muslims running away
from their own land to the land of the infidels for
their own safety. Shekau said [the Muslims] are
also infidels and should be killed like the infidels.
These people are not infidels, they are Muslims
running for their lives, and he insisted that they are
infidels and should be killed. Shekau is ignorant of
the fact that it is forbidden for a Muslim to be
killed after being chased out of Islamic Caliphate
to a strange land and [when the Muslim] has not
taken part in any conspiracy against Muslims.
[Shekau] is ignorant and needs to be taught the
rudiments of Islam. Islam is not his creation. Only
Allah defines who is a Muslim and who is an
infidel. Even if you travel to a foreign land, you
have no jurisdiction to say who is who until you
have a basis. Anywhere you go you can’t say who
is who. You can’t kill and take away people’s
properties.
“We fled from him with our religion for good. It is
there in the books, when you are not allowed to
do Islam you have the liberty to flee and follow
what you know is right. Shekau, we did not touch
you, don’t touch us. If you touch us we will touch
you and we are many against you. We have people
in your house and even your present hideout. You
don’t know us enough; we are ready for anyone to
kill us, even if it is infidels, for so long as we will
make heaven and be before Allah. That is why we
are countering the false ideology you are
spreading.
“[Shekau] said he is looking for our information.
We also have your information and we are close to
you. What kind of thing is this? There were states
we captured as part of the Islamic Caliphate and
you allowed men to be looting property. We told
you and you did not take action. We don’t know
this brand of Jihad; you kill children, women and
bomb people. We should be looking for infidels
and not our own people. How can we be killing
people in the mosques when there are churches,
barracks? It is nonsense and Allah will ask you
[about it] if you don’t repent. Another thing is,
[Shekau] is interpreting verses with his own
opinions and the cassettes are being spread. Stop
interpreting the Quran with your own opinion. We
who lived with [Shekau] knew his conduct. What is
not in the Hadith, he will insist that it is there. Kai,
Imam, all these interpretations are your own
creation. Please go and seek education and
knowledge from those that know.
“Nobody should believe him. People should seek
understanding and not depend on his lies. Haba
Imam, have you forgotten our past? Is this how we
started? You forgot your days in our learning place
with your two items of clothing, learning under the
tree? And today you are arrogant and killing your
own people because you have now got an empire?
“You forgot how you rushed to pass a verdict over
the case of a man over sheep? And you rushed a
judgment that saw the man’s hand amputated. The
same thing happened in Bama. Five of us were
sitting, and the issue came up of some fighters
who married slaves. He quickly said they should
be killed. The killings spread to eleven persons.
Later on, the allegation turned out to be false.
Some fighters murmured and said there would be
no peace with his injustices. And all these are not
part of Islam. People complained of several acts,
but because [Shekau] was enjoying power he
refused to take action. Who killed the Malam in
Banki? Is it not you that killed him? The same
thing happened to a man you brought inside and
killed.
“You forgot one day I told you that your wives are
not aware that their husbands are alive. You
dismissed me with a wave of hand. And you said
their husbands should be killed. Is it not you that
killed them? Are you not the one that killed Malam
Abdulmalik? He is popularly known as Baba
Abdulmalik, and you killed him. And you are killing
them secretly when, in Islam, there is nothing like
secret killings even of an infidel. Even if it is
Buhari that comes to you following an agreement,
if you killed him, it is not Islam. Even if it is an
infidel, if you killed him it is not Islam. If you are
afraid of their treaty, tell them we are enemies,
instead of drawing people close tokill them.
“Where did you see the judgment of Allah secretly
done? And you said you are following Allah. Is it
the Prophet that said this? This is not Islam,
Shekau.
“You killed Ameer Falluja because he was close to
Abdulmalik. When he entered, he never came out.
The same way, you killedBagomna because he
bought a house in Amchide. If someone bought a
house, is that a reason to kill him? With your hand
you killed him. Bagomna came on a bike, and you
just killed him. When we asked you why you said
since he went to war he did not return. You are a
liar; you killed him on your own. Is this Islam? Are
you sure it is Islam you are doing, killing war
commanders, and killing clerics?
“You killed Mustapha, you killedKakaali, and you
told women that they died in the war, but insiders
knew that you killed them. It was Aliyu that you
asked to call one of them. You remember where
you used to stay in one location. On getting there
one day they called the man guarding the place.
When he came, you killed him. When the second
[man] appeared you repeated the same. From that
moment did we not start failing and losing the
war? You can’t think and repent. When we fought
infidels in Baga, did you remember the bravery
[the men you killed] exhibited? Did you do half of
their gallant fight? You are just sitting down; they
will bring you cars, money, and other valuables
and you still have the guts to betray them.
“The same way you killed one man on trivial
grounds that he was gossiping. Yet his
contribution to this cause was incredible. He was
producing guns, and you just wasted him. And you
wanted to kill one Aliyu and something happened.
You wanted him killed, but failed and he
succeeded in killing one of the two you sent to kill
him. Is this Jihad? Is it not you that killed
Mujaheed? Is it not you that killed Umar? Is it not
you that killedAbumariam? Abumariam and
Mujaheed were killed together by you. What did
they do to you? Can’t people tell you the truth?
That is why some of us that want to tell you the
truth fled so that you don’t kill us. And now that
we are away, you can’t kill us unless we kill
ourselves. We believe in Allah and have our own
battalions. Send your agents and see a surprise.
None of them can come here; we will finish them.
You also killed Abdullahi because of a dream. You
keep telling people rubbish about leaders that
killed their fighters. Those leaders killed in the
open, but you killed secretly.
“When Malam Umar was going to honor
[Shekau’s] invitation, he called me and explained
that Shekau had sent for him, but he had sent
words pleading for forgiveness. When he told me,
I said he should believe in Allah and submit to his
faith. When Umar went, [Shekau] came out and
asked for a knife and a dagger. Very close to the
river [Shekau] killed Umar. Is this Allah’s verdict?
This is Haram for Shekau to make Muslims kill
their brothers. Shekau be careful, we are not part
of this; I repent and will never follow you. I will
never go back. If you fear Allah, you should better
repent. We have revolted against your ideology
and now cling to the real ideology of Allah. We are
not part of a caliphate of injustices and shedding
of blood. We are not part of a religion that is not
dictated by Allah. We are with our leader, [ISIS
commander] Al-Baghdadi. If you say you will not
follow him, we will know the truth. Anyway, you
have revolted and are deceiving people. You even
said it in your cassette that you were forced; that
you only bear fake allegiance fearing that there
would be an internal revolt against you. Shekau
killed many fighters, and we have exposed a few
[of his victims].
“Another case of Shekau’s insensitivity is
abandoning fighters to hunger [as well as] women
and children who go without food while he is
enjoying with his own family.
“Last year, 20 children died of malnourishment.
Recently, 15 babies died in one day due to
starvation. I have a recorded message here, and I
will play it here for all to hear.
(The audio was played and Shekau was heard
saying the following: “That children are dying, let
even 100, 000 die now. Nonsense, am I the one
holding them? I can only do what I can. Am I here
to breed babies? You came disturbing me. Who
told you my duty is to look after babies? Who told
you my duty is to look after fighters? If this is
what you are talking about, then it is you that
should look after me. Is this what Quran said?
What do you mean?”).
Abu Musab al-Barnawi message continued:
“Hear him saying that it is not his duty. Let us
teach you, Imam. It is your responsibility to look
after fighters and ensure their welfare. Go and
study the Quran. It is not me that wrote, but it is
there in the Quran. Anything that was given to you,
you must provide for the welfare of the fighters.
Imagine him in the cassette I played saying Allah
said fighters should feed him. Tell us where in the
Quran Allah said we should feed you? We know it
is your responsibility to feed us and give us
money for chicken and all our needs. This is the
truth, Imam.
“Even [when fighters] advance towards enemies,
[Shekau] doesn’t make logistics available. The
other time, we lost plenty of gas and fuel tofire.
Before, you ruled over us, but now we are free.
Another thing that made us leave you is because
you don’t listen to your cabinet. If we follow
Shekau, we will never make heaven. That is why
we left. Stop giving opinionated fatwa.
“You don't listen and accept our views. Even [Boko
Haram founder, killed in 2009] Mohammed Yusuf,
he would write his Friday preaching and table it
before us for debate and scrutiny. We would
collectively go through and work on it. But you
refused [to do the same]. Are you more educated
than Mohammed Yusuf? Is it not in my place that
you were studying with your two items of clothes
and under a tree in Maiduguri?
“Another thing is Shekau doesn't make weapons
available for fighters. People fighting a war are left
with no weapons. We have lost many territories in
our emerging Islamic caliphate to infidels because
of your laxity. You are the cause.
“This was the beginning of our revolt against you.
If you leave us alone, we will leave you alone. If
you continue antagonizing us, we will also
continue. If you repent, we will accept you and
embrace you. You should repent and fear Allah.
This is the open letter to you.
“In our Shura meetings, there was a complaint that
jihadists’ wives were taken away while they were
fighting for Allah. What did you do? You did
nothing, and fighters saw how you don't bother
about their welfare. You just go home and sleep
with your wives and slaves while we are suffering.
We are not with you.”

Confusion in the Camp of the Enemy

While reading this, I remembered what my Muslim colleague told me about Islam and what it says about 'infidels'. Hmmm odigwa egwu oo

Wooooooooow

islam chop islam, what is my own

Shekau Attack Barnawi, Barnawi attack Shekau. Dazzol

Useless Cassandra's boys...

Let them continue fighting themselves, they wilk soon expose the role of BUHARI in this boko haram of a thing. Al Barnawi gave a small hint where he mentioned Buhari.

Shekau & Barnawi do not exist. Amerika runs all the terrorist franchises all over the globe including Boko Haram.

Each time you see or hear Shekau & Barnawi release their video footages, just picture a CIA agent in Langley manipulating the characters through video & photo editing.

You can google the name "Tim Osman" and tell me what you see.

APC secret military wing having small crisis

All I see is 2 insane men arguing over their unbridled greed. .. their survival was guaranteed by a devilish Jonathan govt which allowed stealing of funds meant to destroy bh.
