Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman, the spokesperson of the Nigerian Army said in a statement on Friday, September 1, that the extension of the 40-day deadline to arrest Boko Haram leader, Shekau was approved by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai.

On Sunday, September 3, it was reported that the Boko Haram leader released another video taunting COAS Buratai and the Nigerian army and President Buhari.

In the newly released video, Shekau speaking in Hausa, said he was hale and hearty and the Nigerian army has been peddling lies of various arrests.


Below are some quotes from the video:

1. Speaking on the news that some members of the Boko Haram sect including top commanders, were arrested, he said: “I don’t think anyone who understands our creed will surrender to you. I heard your claim of arresting 70 of our members, it is a lie, you even claimed you arrested five of our commanders, we didn’t send out any troop this time and we are together with our commanders.”

2. Shekau also claimed responsibility of recent air attacks, saying: “Even your aircrafts that recently fell you did not report. Buhari is seated down sick and being lied to. It wasn’t an accident; we shot them down and there is nothing you do about it.”

3. Taunting them about the 40-day deadline which has expired, he said: “You said you’ll arrest me in 40 days and today is the 40th day and I’ve celebrated Sallah peacefully, I Shekau is here."

4. He also mocked the military about the rise of Biafra: "You Buhari as old as you are, at 74 you think you can do something, Biafrans have risen. Buhari you have no power and you are a liar.”

5. Mocking the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, he said: "Buratai I’ll repeat again, the forty days have passed so go and prepare again.”

6. He also mentioned, Sani Kukasheka, the army spokesman in his statement, threatening him with sickness. “And you Kukasheka, continue to lie; you will lie down sick the same Buhari did,” he said.

The aspirants in the ongoing interview are Professors Hasan Saliu, Abdulkareem Age, Adebayo Lawal, Abayomi Omoteso, Abdulsalam Ahmed and Job Atte.

Sources added that the interview would be completed on Friday due to large numbers of the aspirants that would face the screening committee.



The screening committee was expected to select three aspirants that would be presented to President Muhammadu Buhari after the interview while one of them would be picked as the next vice chancellor of the university.

Contacted on the development, the Deputy Director, Corporate and Information Affairs of the university, Alhaji Abdulganiyu Kunle Akogun who confirmed the ongoing interview of the 20 aspirants for the vice chancellorship position of the university said that the chairman of the Governing Council, Dr Jubril Oyekan is the leader of the screening committee of the exercise.

With a five-match suspension and troubles with the Spanish tax authorities, Cristiano Ronaldo has not enjoyed the best of summers.

But could the real reason behind his misfortune be that the Real Madrid star is the victim of a powerful curse?

That is the opinion of one Portuguese witchdoctor, who believes that Cristiano is being punished for missing the funeral of his father.

According to Fernando Nogueira, better known under his witchdoctoring name Fafe, the 32-year-old has been subjected to a “terrible curse, a tremendous case of evil eye.”

“Ronaldo has been weakened spiritually and psychologically,” Fafe revealed to Flash when asked about the player’s recent travails.

“He missed the funeral of his father to play the same evening, and that unleashed a lot of energies.”

Ronaldo, born Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, owes his evocative middle name to his father, who was a big fan of former US president Ronald Reagan.

But he maintained a strained relationship with Jose Dinis Aveiro, who suffered from alcoholism and passed away from a related illness when Ronaldo was just 20.

Fafe believes the failure to patch up the relationship with his father has left a mark on Ronaldo’s life.

“He did not say goodbye to his father when he was alive, and had not talked to him in a long time,” the witchdoctor opined.

“There are things that weigh on our consciences. As bad as a father can be, missing his funeral unleashed very powerful negative energies.”Ronaldo need not fret, however, as Fafe is willing to cure him of the curse free of charge.

“If he or his family had a strong witchdoctor to treat him it would be fine. If it fails nothing will be solved,” he added.
