The Shekau’s faction of Boko Haram, Jama’atu Ahlussunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, has released a new video and confirmed its link with the armed groups in Niger State that also operate in the Northwest.

The six minutes and five seconds video shows fully armed fighters speaking in Hausa, English and Kanuri.

“Special greetings from your jihadi brethren in the Lake Chad Basin. Greetings to our leader Abu Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Abubakar Asshakawy,” a masked first speaker started in Hausa.

“My second message is for all of the Mujahideen, especially those close to us. We send you Islamic greetings.

“My other message is for all the unbelievers in the world. Repent, you still have time. And if you don’t, wait and see what will happen to you very soon,” he said.

Other speakers in English and Kanuri emphasised the same message in different languages.

“My message to Kuffar (unbelievers). O’Kuffar, you have time to repent to Allah before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala punishes you with our hands,” the English speaker warned.

“Soon you will see what is happening in your marketplaces. Soon you’ll see what is happening in your offices.

“Soon you’ll see what is happening in your homes. Anywhere you are, soon you’ll see what is happening,” he added.

Another terrorist promised to track down whoever the Nigerian Army sent for an undercover operation in their midst.

Niger Terrorists Speak

HumAngle had earlier reported plans by terror groups in the northeast to forge an alliance with militia groups in both Northcentral and Northwest Nigeria.

In the video released today, a fighter was shown saying he is from Niger State and sending greetings to his brethren in Sambisa, Lake Chad and Zamfara.

“We send greetings to our brethren in Sambisa, Lake Chad and Zamfara,” he said
