Factional leader of Boko
Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has released a new audio in which he said the newly
appointed Security Chiefs cannot do better than their predecessors did in the
fight against insurgency.
HumAngle
reports that Shekau in the nine minutes audio, said he heard about the
retirement of the previous service chiefs and their replacement with new ones
but that his message was to call them to Islam.
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.
He
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.
A
source familiar with the activities of Boko Haram told Hum Angle that members of
the group are likely to conduct major operations to send a message to the new
service chiefs that they are ready to fight.
On
Tuesday January 26, President Buhari replaced the former Service chiefs with
new ones. Major-General Leo Irabor was appointed the Chief of Defence
Staff and head of the military while Major-General Ibrahim Attahiru was
appointed the new Chief of Army Staff. Rear Admiral A.Z. Gambo became the
Chief of Naval Staff, and Air-Vice Marshal I.O. Amao is the new Chief of Air
Staff.
