Boko Haram Has Given Buhari Ultimatum After Capturing Popular Pastor.
OnyxNews Nigeria gathered that Boko Haram group led by Abubakar Shekau has given a week ultimatum to the Federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari to secure the release of Pastor Bulus Yakuru who was abducted on Christmas eve in Borno State.
The Pastor was abducted in an attack in which about seven people were killed at Pemi village of Borno state on December 24, 2020.
OnyxNews Nigeria learnt that Pemi Village is 20 kilometres distanced from Chibok, where Boko Haram group had abducted hundreds of schoolgirls.
The pastor had appeared in two Boko Haram videos days after the abduction in December and early January 2021, where he also pleaded for Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari’s intervention, Babagana Zulum the Governor of Borno State and church leaders to rescue him.
In a new video, Pastor Yakuru identified himself and pleaded with Nigeria’s President, Borno State Governor and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) to intervene and secure his release.
While one of the terrorists stood behind him with a knife, the Pastor revealed that he was given a one-week ultimatum by his abductors which will end on Wednesday March 3.
Yakuru said: “I’m calling on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Governor of Borno to help me because I have been given a one-week ultimatum today, Feb. 24.
