The dreaded Boko Haram sect has released another video mocking the recent regional alliance
Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger to successfully defeat the terrorist group.
The sect released three different videos on Sunday, February 8, Daily Trust reports.
In the first video, the leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau is seen boasting that the coming of regional alliance by Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger will not tame his group from carrying out terror across the region.
According to him, he will keep attacking and killing those who he refers to as infidels, adding that he will ensure that democracy is frustrated and Islam entrenched not only in Nigeria but in neighboring countries.
Also shown are images of the leader of the Islamic State group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, along with archive footage and a voiceover recalling a battle between British colonial soldiers and fighters from the Sokoto Caliphate in northern Nigeria.
He said: “We never rose up to fight Africa. We rose up to fight the world.
“We are going to fight the world on the principle that whoever doesn’t obey Allah and the Prophet to either obey or die or become a slave.”
The second video showed armed men were punishing “offenders”. Two young were being lashed for alleged adultery. The right hand of another man was amputated for alleged stealing and the third person was stoned to death for alleged fornication after which the whole of his body, with the exception of the head was buried in a ditch.
Hundreds of people, including women in Hijab as well as children could be seen in the yet to be identified town.
Also seen were hundreds of Boko Haram fighters chanting Allahu Akbar meaning “God is Great” while driving towards unknown direction on a deserted highway.
The third video portrays the “temporary” invasion of Damaturu, the capital of Yobe State on December 1, 2014.
Hundreds of insurgents led by an armoured personnel carrier were shown driving through Gujba road in a convoy of Hilux vehicles and motorcycles.
In the video, an unidentified spokesman, surrounded by hooded fighters later appeared in a bush where he displayed over 50 vehicles and ammunition.
According to him, they were the “spoils of war” they got from Damaturu.
The spokesman debunked claims by the Nigerian armed forces that the attack on December 1 was repelled.
“We had a field day in Damaturu, ate and dined, took what we wanted and thereafter drove out of the town at our own volition, with all the vehicles, ammunitions and other things we wanted to take along,” he said.
About two days ago, Boko Haram fighters had for the first time carried an attack in neighbouring country of Niger. The attack occurred in the morning of February 6 in the town of Bosso just across the border from Nigeria.
