Vengeance: Released Boko Haram Commander Threatens To Bomb Abuja In Shekau's New Video
*AK47 Wielding Chibok Girl Speaks In Video
Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau has indicated to the world that a swap deal the Federal Government had with his group on release of 82 Chibok Girls with some detained colleagues, was a fatal mistake, the released commanders having emerged more angery and vicious with minds of vengeance.
Shekau has released two sets of videos in which one of the swapped Boko Haram Commanders threatened vengeance, intimating the Federal Government of an plans to bomb Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
Another video has one of the Chibok girls carrying a dangerous weapon, an indication that Boko Haram has recourse to the tactic to engage the remaining girls in captivity in art of warfare with Nigeria.
Ahmad Salkida, a noted mediator between the Federal Government and Boko Haram leaders disclosed this in twits, indicating that he is already in possession of the two videos through his first hand contact with Shekau.
Salkida said the Boko Haram Commanders posted the two videos late last night; the first featuring Boko Haram fighters while the second featured 3 Chibokgirls.
He said part of the video clips conveyed a message on the Chibokgirls that were recently swapped with his group, adding that the his colleagues the government swapped with Chibok girls were more than 5, contrary to claim by the government.
According to him, Shekau was yet uploaded either of the videos on YouTube before he got hold of them.
Said he, "The video has Shuaibu Moni, one of the swapped BH commanders issuing threats to Nigerian authorities and it's president.
The commander, in the video, declared that it is not true that only 5 commanders were released, warning of imminent bombing of Abuja.
"He (released Boko Haram commander) further said that there has been no 'sulhu' dialogue with government and there won't be. Only war is between us, he declared.
Salkida said on of the Chibok girls; Maida Yakubu, still in captivity also spoke in another video in which case she was carrying an AK47
There have been reports that Boko Haram over the past few months have been deploying under age girls suspected to be part of the abducted Chibok girls to bomb soft targets in the north eastern parts of the country.
Most of the girls said to have been used to detonate bombs at different times in Borno state, most essentially were between age 14 and 21, according to reports.
The United Nations recently decried the use of underage girls by Boko Haram in its bombing expeditions, just as it puts the figures of girls who had dies in the process at over 700.
