The leader of the dreaded ‘Jamaatu Ahlissunnah Liddaawati Wal Jihad’, otherwise known as Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has again taunted the Nigerian military high command in his latest video that he cannot be arrested because he is doing the work of God.
The Chief of Army Staff, Major-General Tukur Buratai had ordered his men to capture Shekau about three times in the last few years.
Pres. Muhammadu Buhari had also said during his campaign for office that he would defeat Boko Haram within a short time of his taking office.
The Nigerian Army had on November 11, 2020 kicked-off a fresh manhunt for Shekau and other top commanders of the sect.
In a new video, however, Shekau, who was shown in the video sitting in the midst of two of his fighters holding guns, said nobody can arrest him because he was doing the work of God who will protect him.
The video, shot in a question and answer format, Shekau vowed that the war would continue even after him. He also spoke on the members of Boko Haram who recanted from the group and joined the amnesty programme in the North-East.
