Boko Haram leader, Shekau issues threats to President Buhari

Leader of the Boko Haram group, Abubakar Shekau, has issued threats to President Muhammadu Buhari, telling him not to visit Borno State again as the sect is fully ready in the north-east.

In a video the Boko Haram leader released on Thursday, after President Muhammadu Buhari visit to the state, Shekau said the terrorist group would attack the president if he returns to Borno.

Buhari had paid condolence visit to the state over Sunday killing of 30 persons in Auno community close to Maiduguri while coming from Ethiopia where he went for African Union summit.

Boko Haram had launched an attack hours after Buhari departed from the condolence visit.

The Boko Haram leader also gave a condition under which the remaining Chibok schoolgirls in captivity would be released.

More than 100 of the 276 girls abducted from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state, in 2014, have been in custody of the terrorist group.

Speaking in Hausa Language, Shekau said the schoolgirls would be set free if the federal government releases his members presently in detention.
