.Nigeria’s most wanted man also threatens to kill Shehu of Borno and Emir of Kano
The leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has threatened attacks in Nigeria’s oil region in a new video released on Wednesday, on a day that his men invaded the north east town of Bama, killing people and destroying property.
“You will in coming days see your refinery bombed,” Shekau warned in the 28-minute-long video obtained by AFP.
It was unclear when the video was recorded.
“Niger Delta, you are in trouble,” Shekau said, speaking in Hausa, the dominant language in northern Nigeria.
The video was shot in an open field, where Shekau was surrounded by an armoured tank, two military vans and about a dozen gun-bearing soldiers.
Shekau: threatens Niger Delta oil region
Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil producer, derives more than 90 percent of its foreign exchange earnings from oil.
The US government, which has designated Shekau a terrorist, has offered a reward of up to $7 million for information on his whereabouts.
In the video, Shekau — who admitted killing an Islamic cleric, Adam Albani, about two weeks ago in the northern Nigerian city of Zaria — also threatened to kill other Muslim and political figures in the country, including the respected Shehu of Borno, a prominent Muslim leader, and the Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero, who was attacked by suspected Islamists last year.
“The reason why I will kill you is you are infidels. You follow democracy. Whoever follows democracy is an infidel. This is Shekau. This is why I am in enmity with you,” he said, his comments interspersed with gunshots fired in the air by him and his aides.

I have all it takes and the information dat nigeria need to capture the bokos men
I knw how nigerian can capture this so called boko haram becuz I my brother is one of their leader from mali. If nigeria belive me. T
SHEKAU is just like d Goliath of old,I bliv his days are numbered,very soon d sponsors wil b xposd nd they wil kill demselves.We need National Interdenomitional crusade or Revival 2 call on God instead of National conference.
mr..president jonathan see oooo if you forget what to say. What to do and who to do them call me meeting… Am well to due my dear refinery no be look upstore for shekau to panetrate
I can’t explain and associate Western education as an Haram with video postings. Video technology is a product of western education. These blood letting hounds should be totally annihilated without mercy.Enough is enough.No more kids glove treatment.
That retard should go ahead and bomb whatever remains of his father’s compound. He will go the way of those before him. And the day of reckoning is coming when he, his brainless twerps and their financiers in the caliphate will be BEHEADED.
Who is even collecting dat report from boko agent,maybe he has collectiön wit dem ad their hidout.is he against democracy,why did’t dey kil him d reporter or maybe he is their member
The northern Leaders are most unfortunate human being i have ever seen in the whole of this world. Instead of them to call their useless and God forsaking Boko boys to order and make peace with them , they are busy pursuing political aims and allowing these idiots to be killing innocent people. I am happy now that the arrow is shifting back at them as declared by Shekau. All northern leaders are now in trouble.
Let me sound this note of warning to the said Boko boys and their accomplices that there will be war if they attack the Niger Delta as they are planning. So beware and we are watching with sleepless eyes.
The idiots called b’haram have their sponsors, I am surprised they have not been arrested.
@ ovat or wat do u call ur self U ar big fool n am sure u ar nt a nigeria citizen can u immagin ur self boko haram is killing a lot of ppl n ur stupid jonattan sit dere doing rubish our ancestor n our father land will nt be happy wit u will involved in dat boko haram by grace of God bcs u ar saying wat dey ar doing n wat president is doing is good God punish u n ur president u dat say nigeria will nt av a peace u wil never n ur generation will never av peace Amen
You are a big fool and you deserve to be grounded in a grounding machine so that animals like you will not exist among people of good will. How on earth must you talk rudely to your president?
@ Radom, you are a wicked soul, your boko haram is busy killing people and destroying properties, The only solution you can think of, is how Gej could be over thrown. Animal like you. go overthrow babangida for him house. idiot like you. Random talk from a man who chose to call himself random.
@salami, na you weak, no be GEJ. shekau is a boastful Aboki mallam, he no fit bomb any refinery. he can’t try that nonsense in the south. Aboki mae suya.
salami u are a big fool for saying such against the president, people like you should be thrown to the zoo where monkeys are kept.
with time it will become things of d past.all nig govt had their challenges.
This is Nigeria where leaders concentrated on looting our money,meanwhile the killers are prouding their bloody action.
Instead for our so called president Jonathan to tackle the manace of this boko haram, he’s busy fighting sanusi and amaechi. I regretted voting for the weakest president in the world. 2015 will tell.
FIGHTING BOKOIHARAM? WHO IS BOKO HARAM? ATIKU AND SANUSI ARE THE BOKO HARAM
We are in a war situation according to Shettima. I think it high time Govt declared war with Boko Haram. They should bring in war jet to fight them and bomb their cells.
Only God knows what will happen
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmn,I stil wil nt forget d words of ACHEBE,,, THERE WAS A COUNTRY
”In the land of the blind the one eyed man is made the king” Abubakar Shekau can kill as many as he wants. Nigeria is a country full of Blind leaders who only see state fund to steal. Abubakar Shekau is bloody, but i tell you our leaders are worst. God Save our Land.
Instead of tackling the problem,u are mentioning Amaechi’s name.what concerns Amaechi with boko haram?infact,people like jomo obomo,Asari,Ateke and others should be arrested;because they taught people how to bumb, kill and threaten the country.and now shakau.it is a shame that Nigeria can’t punish offenders .there is no rule of law.
Boko Haram will end one day!
liveisgood.com
Enuf said about this mad dog called shinkau.pls let him make good his threat and see the reactions of war ready niger delta militants and Massob.Their blood will be screened and used to write their names on the road from where they came
The stage is now set for the burial of Nigeria as a Country. The utterances of the Northern Leaders fuel and fan BOKO HARAM. “Federal Government are more Boko Haram than Boko Haram itself-Buhari”. We shall make the Country ungovernable Atiku and Ciroma. Northern Christaian cannot be President of Nigeria- Muslim cleric. BOKO HARAM VS OPC/NIGER DELTA Militants signal the death of Nigeria.
Video of Shekau saying that he will bomb the Refinaries or i don’t believe it!
When gov amechi name is been mentioned why is it that some of you took it so personal? He cannot go free he should prepare his way out of Niger delta, I don’t think that even that Hausa lands will contain him talkless of staying in Nigeria
Boko Haram cannot operate beyond the border towns. Northern elders gave them the strength. Their guerrilla warfare strategy of attack makes it look as if they are winning the battle. They camp outside the Nigeria territory and attack at odd times to rush back to their base in Cameroun where the NA has no constitutional backing to invade. BH interest is to infiltrate the entire country but the strength of the millitary has kept them at the borders. Sometimes I think BH claiming responsibilities for every crime in Nigeria is to make them being feared of doing the unimaginable; they cannot come to the interior.
If Boko-Haram bomb nigeria refinaries,am asuring nigerian and Goodluck Jonathan dat,nigeria is going to divide into 3 or Nigeria soldiers will take over
Shekau is a fool
Boko Haram Vs Niger Delta
Lets be frank about this. The problem with Nigeria, and most part of the world is not muslims but some dreadful contents in the koran. Search through history, the origin of insurgency started when some people believe that their god has given them power to kill and maim those who doesnt agree with their ideology.
There is no cause for alarm beloved Nigerians, Boko haran or whatever its called can be linked to the insanity of good and evil which the world at large is a victim of, I tag this boko nonsense a means adopted by the incumbent government to distract the attention of patriotic Nigerian from bringing priority into motion, they allocate most of the nations funds to security which can be sorted once the priority is in place, let’s not be deceived by the gimmicks of these our short sighted mentally deflated leaders who can’t foresee the impending danger ahead of we future leaders, take it or leave it boko haran is not real, right from inception the muslims are created for war, they are christians nemesis, if the president and his blind cabinet keep shying away from the priority and focuses his attention on the so called boko colleagues, he better watch out for 2015, long live Nigeria.
If d us has willngly asked to assist Nigerians 2 get boko haram members arrested, dey simply reject dis offer cos dey kw, millions of money will nt b alocated 2 d security sector where dey feed,even our own local OPC, offer d govt ,just 2 empower Dem 2 assist in tackling bokoharam, d govt still says ‘NO’ oya nah, let d north eat wot dey produce, if dis funny government can admit in his staetmt dat he kws who dey ar nd der ar within his usueles carbals, n still yet can’t fish Dem out, he expect follish Nigerians 2 still cast der vote 4 him come 2015, dén we’ll kw dat all Nigerians r under boundage, if d shekeu, is an enemy 2 democracy why nt attack where its been practice which is aso rock, why ramping on refinaries, let dos u ar annoyed at feel d pain, nt killng pple who ar at peace wt God, if uar dat empowered by ur military sponsors why nt attack d aso-rock itself! God will get u himself, cas uv bring down d wrath of God.
when late major okar , in his coup address to the nation,detached five core northern states from Nigeria,all the nigerians rose against him.Now what Okar foresaw many years ago are now rearing their ugly heads. Nigeria as a nation need visionary leaders like major okar who foresaw what is happening now many years ago and had wanted to avert it on time, but was not allowed. Boko haram insurgency cannot be stopped by physically fighting the group but by identifying their sponsors who are presently occupying hallowed govt offices both in the states and federal levels.The sponsors of this group are in the govt, etc.
This is a mere lie. Some people want to deceive to cause confusion in the country because they know GEJ will not be voted, otherwise where is the video? Nobody sees any video, they try other means of causing problem in the country so that their target of dividing the country would be achieved but they failed, now the only option they have is to claim a video threatning Niger Delta so that the mad people their will react in a hash way leading to confusion in the country and subsequent cancellation of 2015 election. No way! GEJ must leave by 2015.
@mohammed because of this type of your commitment that I hate the entire north with passion, GEJ must go because he is not northerner and not a muslim ok we are waiting but before then you all would be consume with your boko haram
If he like he can use any means to make noise. today where is osama benladen,mama gadafi,just name them this nation can never be hold ramson by any body. F.G please dnt relocate Army Head Quarters instead retire weak G O C’s and give command to vibrant and competent hot blood officers after all during militancy in Rivers AHQ was not relocateded.this should not be a slap to the Army.
Bookharm is a kingdom dat makes use of innocent blood nothing like religon
Boko haram is for northern nigeria not for Niger death or there will be a new nigeria without Boko haram
dnt knw y dis man is sill breathing.GEJ is waiting till is re-elected. his quietness doesnt potend weakness. let’s watch n see.
Let us continue to pray,this is our country God own country,God is greater than shekau ain’t gonna run for him,but what has a begging definitely has an end.
we recognise everything about boko haram,
No any boko haram in nigeria. Govement is a boko haram. but god fast them we pray for allah to protect us about thier entertaiment ameen
We surely know we also bleav that u so call shekau u re not a muslem and the last agender is to kill muslems since we knw we re comin to this stage of killin the backbon of the north and u will succede insha allah allah is wit us jew s illuminaty and also freemasonic member nonsense fool of the century
Buhari and his pet- dogs(boko haram) are now looking for serious trouble. Nigerdelta millitants vs boko haram,what a perfect set stage we are about to witness,i cry for my country.
Some people are just senseless.. What has Amaechi Got 2 do with Boko haram? Pls always reason before u comment cos Amaechi is juat a governor nd not d federal govt… May God help us in dis country!!!
Tot nigeria recently bought drones for search……..am socked that in this country they cant do anything ……and where is the funding from …..you can not trace all top officials spending and how they move money about am still shocked at this …..they need a new way to clear this mess outta this country ….just 1 man and the military come to the streets to intimidate innocent nigerians ….menh they have to answer for all this
What the North produce let them eat it.
Bomb ur home land and don’t come to my region.
We know hw to spill blood too. Any attempt on our refinery in d south will mean WAR.
U r advice not to wake d sleeping tiger.
Fellow Nigerians, no one to blame in the entire nation, unless Nigerian government. You will never believe what I am saying unless you are in Maiduguri. You will always see the so called Nigerian army going to the villeges as if they will conquer the battle. But always reverse is the case. If Nigerian government is really interested to finish with those little rascals (Boko Haram), believe me sincerely, they will do that within few hours. Due to the fact that the goverment is really benefitting with the on going crisis, it will never come to an end, unless we join hand and overthrow the current ruling party. Otherwise, the entire nation is in incredible trouble. It is all about cultism manifestation.
@RANDOM you want to overthrow the government but refuses to punish your brother who promised to make the country ungovernable.
Shame on you and your generation
Those talking sentiments here are doing exactly what the sponsors of this crisis want. i,e bringing confusion in the country and self destruction. lets be reasonable please
Shekau knows very well dat Nig security are incompetents,
Your end is very near.
Instead of refinery why not aso-rock or don’t u have d power to bomb aso-rock rather than killing innocent lifes,let those corncern fills it.
Hmmm. Now it’s getting more serious!!!!
when late major gideon okar,in his maiden coup address,detarched
All because of 2015. Power comes from God and He gives to whom He wishes and annoints. Any other means of getting it comes from the evil one.
nigerian govt. will overcome by when d entire country is empty. I know somebody is using d situation to. b rich.Let d govt. mobilize everybody 4 war. Shettima should vacate his office immediately.Enough is enough.
Try to be reasonable when posting ur comment, thank u
This man is just a crazy lunatic. You want to go to niger delta, I don’t know what the Nigerian security service is up to, but I bet you the niger/ delta militants can handle this boko nonsense anytime any day, so what is the army doing? if obj was there I don’t think this nonsense will even play up today.
Very good, Amaechi has opened the door of his house to his rampaging friends – 17 buses loaded with traders, men, women and children into River State. Good luck to him.
Boko Haram has the go ahead to bomb Kaduna Refinery, but if they come near any in the South, then we do not even need a National Conference but the begining of a full blown Civil war. No betrayer this time around, I know the Yorubas have learnt their lessons and are ready to move.
All these are 2015 threats!
THIS CRAZY MAN IS THREATENING TO ATTACK PROMINENT NIGERIANS AND ALL SOME PEOPLE COULD STUPIDLY COMMENT ABOUT IS SOMEONE WHO IS SITTING IN HIS OFFICE IN RIVERS STATE.
THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG. HOW COME THE NIGERIA INTELLIGENCE SERVICE COULD NOT TRACK DOWN THIS CRAZY MAN THROUGH HIS MESSENGER THAT ALWAYS BRING THE TAPE.
THIS MAN HAS DECLARED WAR ON NIGERIA, NIGERIA NEEDS TO FIGHT THIS AS A WAR WITH ALL THE MACHINERY THEY HAVE.
@ MALLAM SHEHU what made those people prominent?
some life are better than some abi, mumu, everybody is equal before God prominent my foot,
why wont they post the video for nigerians to see, just to make sure. or is it all lies?
The end of boko harams has come with their co -sponsor.
Shekau is a victim of religion. many like him abound whose lives have been made misserable by religious teachings. May Jonathan’s confab put an end to Nigeria so that other peaceful tribes in this British colony will enjoy thier lives
Some people are too sentimental, instead of attacking the lunatic called Shekau, his supporters and financiers they abuse other northerners’ their religion and other respected Nigerian.

If they bomb any refinery in Rivers, Amechi should be held responsible. The enemies cannot enter our land without the aid of a traitor.
Its like u guys are daft, if not we are discussing national issue u said Amechi should ab held responsible. Ur level of political enemity is d worst.
Adiza, in shekau we have a common enemy. There is no apc, pdp, notherner, southerner, etc. We just have to kill shekau and his gang of lunatics, thats all!!
For every thing that has begining must surely has an end. Insha Allah, you shall end ur life in a undefined miserable life for u, your gang and ur sponsor very soon…..for all u ve caused….ameeeeen
Your days are numbered, including your sponsors.You will never prevail over this nation.
Where is Amaechi? You will join them in the North, because we will not tolerate a betray here.
@Adiza & Preston, most of the known Boko Haram sympathizers are PDP members. Even GEJ has confirmed that his government has them.
batter blame your militans who aids boko haram through dokubo rathan blaming amechi.
Really? We wait to see, if one single Northern will stay in this region.Simple way of saying no more Nigeria!
So does this mean that Nigeria government doesnt have the technology to trace this idiot out through the video he posts repeatedly? It’s quite unfortunate that in this kind of situation, it is the innocent people that do suffer,
@ ty toronto who are you calling innocent people? the wicked entire north who were jubilating when this same animal boko haram were killing our young student who went there to assist them live a normal life.
They deserved what they are getting pls.
If this Shekau can do what he just promised to kill this few elements I think we should all be happy because a man who allowed his goat to deliver a monkey without doing anything will so realize the danger ahead.
How would a soldier run, for Boko Boyz.
