Abubakar Shekau, leader of the
dreaded Boko Haram terrorist
sect, has claimed responsibility
for the December 20 raid on a
Bama military barracks in Borno
State.
In the most recent video, Shekau
said, " Our fighters stormed the
Bama barracks," while seated on
a mat and flanked by a group of
armed men.
"This is a victory from Allah," he
said, and claimed to have
destroyed "21 armoured tanks,"
killed "multitudes" in the deadly
attack.
According to the Nigerian military
data, 50 terrorists, 15 soldiers
and 5 civilians were killed during
the December 20 attack. Also, an
unknown number of civilians were
killed and four villages destroyed
during the military response.
In the video, Shekau said none of
his followers would betray him
for money reward placed on his
head: "What is 50 million naira?
We do not worship money. As for
those who are in our midst, Allah
has taken care of them," he said.
He also said, his men would have
eaten their enemies, but Allah
forbids cannibalism.
Shekau was recognized as a
global terrorist by the United
States. American officials put a $7
million bounty on his head. On its
part, Nigeria has separately
offered 50 million naira for
information leading to his capture
or death.
