Leader of Boko Haram terror group, Abubakar Shekau, has said
the newly appointed service chiefs would fail like their predecessors.
He spoke in a nine minutes, 56 seconds-long video, according
to HumAngle.
Recall that President, Muhammadu Buhari appointed four new
service chiefs on Tuesday after much pressure from Nigerians that he bring in
fresh hands to pilot the country’s anti-terrorism war especially against Boko
Haram in the North-East.
The new service chiefs are Major-General Leo Irabor as Chief
of Defence Staff; Major-General Ibrahim Attahiru as Chief of Army Staff; Rear
Admiral A.Z Gambo as Chief of Naval Staff; and Air-Vice Marshal I.O Amao as
Chief of Air Staff.
The failure of the immediate-past service chiefs to conquer
the insurgents had ignited the clamour for their removal.
In the new audio, Shekau mentioned the names and the roles
of the new service chiefs and called them to repent because they can’t do anything
to destroy his terror gang.
“Leo Irabor, the head of the military, you should have
sympathy for yourself, repent and convert to Islam. There is nothing you can
do,” Shekau said.
The terror group leader said Maj-Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru
should not deceive himself because he has a Muslim background.
“Even if you are Muslim but you conduct polytheistic
practices, you are no longer a Muslim,” Shekau said.
For over 10 years, the Boko Haram terror group had killed
hundreds of Nigerians in the North-East. The sect had also burnt down and
bombed scores of villages as well as churches. The Nigerian Army and the
Presidency had at several times claimed the group had been ‘technically
defeated’ and ‘weakened’ but the Abubakar Shekau’s bloodthirsty faction
continues to strike with daring effrontery and crude savagery.
