Shekau said this in a video
released on Wednesday.
The Boko Haram leader called on
his members to shoot any Nigerian “if he is deliberately against us”.
He said anyone who protects the
interest of the country is their target.
“I have no lengthy message to
deliver except on the issue of worshiping God alone and serving Him without
getting tired. Ours is not like that of the unbelievers whose worship is like
the spider web,” Shekau said.
“Just like one of the leaders of
unbelievers, who is like an ape, was recently boasting that they have formed a
joint force with Cameroonian forces to fight us.
“That they would not only chase
us from Sambisa forest but also in all parts of Nigeria. So we too have
declared that we do not want to see any Nigerian in Cameroon, in Chad, in
Nigeria and even in Benin Republic.
“So I call on our brethren in
Abuja, in Lagos, in Benin, in Kaduna, wherever you find any Nigerian make sure
you shoot him dead if he is deliberately against us; but if he is ignorant of
our ways, teach him on how to understand our ways. This is our first message.
“This is the message I have for
you all. My name is Abubakar Shekau, the one that is an invincible enemy that
you are fighting. That is our stand. I am tired of this calamity; it is better
I die and go to rest in paradise.”
Shekau also directed his sect
members to go after all those who have pledged allegiance to Nigeria.
“It is not about approaching you
because that has already been done by our God. Our second message is to attack
anyone who pledges to Nigeria, his country, to be faithful, loyal and honest
and serve Nigeria. Anyone who believes in protecting the interest of Nigeria is
our target,” he said.
“The one whose creed is to
develop western education where infidels are trained is our enemy. Whoever that
stands on any creed other than that of our Prophet Muhammad brought to us; the
one that his great disciples followed, should know that he is our avowed enemy
and if he confronts us we will fight him.
“In this job that we embarked
upon, we are not going to boast too much about, but we pray that God should
take our lives while on this struggle and not on any other thing else. May God
help us on this belief.
“So you Nigerians especially the
youth vigilante, we are going to fight you and that thing that drives you to
pick up arms against us; we don’t care what they call you, be it Civilian-JTF
or any kind of force. Just as you said you don’t want us on the face of
Nigeria, so shall we too declare you persona non grata in Sambisa.
“Let anyone who has brains to
think to avoid moving around Sambisa forest. Those of you the leaders of the
troops will no longer have peace just like the way you think you have made here
uncomfortable for us.”
He said the army lied when it
said it had defeated Boko Haram.
“Why have you not rescued the
policewomen that we abducted? You liar, why couldn’t you rescue them? You are
busy deceiving with images of vehicles that we seized from you and abandoned
for over three years and claiming that you have killed us. If you have killed
us, why are we still alive?” Shekau asked.
“Oh you brethren of our holy
creed, wherever you are, should rise up and fight for Allah. If you cannot do
it there, then come over to our side and fight for the cause of Allah. You must
know that whoever that fails to follow the teaching of the Holy Quran and
Hadith cannot enter paradise.
“Because the pattern of life in
the world today is not Islamic. Wherever you are, even if you are in Saudi
Arabia, and you have your gun, please stand up and fight, kill whoever you see
that is not on our side.
“Our course is to establish our
caliphate and die doing that. We may not be alive to see the caliphate but even
if it comes to be after we have died, it is still a bonus on our side.”
