Authorities of the Nigerian
Army Monday said Abubakar Shekau; the Boko Haram warlord is mentally sick,
unstable and irrational.
Col Sani Usman, acting
director, Army public relations, while reacting to a recent video released by Shekau,
describing it as a propaganda and sign of desperation.
According to Usman, Shekau
must release the abducted Chibok girls unconditionally.
His words: “The video has shown beyond all reasonable doubt the
earlier suspicion that the purported factional terrorist’s group leader is
mentally sick and unstable. The ranting is also another sign that the end is
near for him which is part of the signs of all wicked people.”

“The Nigerian Army wishes to assure the public that they should
not be bothered by the contents of the video clip. This is because the facts on
the ground speak for themselves. It is public knowledge that the military has
been making concerted efforts to clear the remnants of the terrorists and
rescue all persons held hostage by them especially the abducted Chibok
Secondary School girls.
“This is a task that will be accomplished, no matter how long it
takes. We are determined in this regard. Already, thousands of persons have
been rescued by troops from the terrorists.
“The video has further shown that he has derailed and no longer
believes and practises the Islam he professes to follow as he was absent at the
last Eid prayers video. It is equally reported that he could not even lead
prayers.
“Shekau has several times proved to be irrational and,
therefore, unreliable especially when it comes to negotiations on the release
of the abducted girls. Therefore, he must release them unconditionally.
“We want to assure Nigerians, especially the residents of
Maiduguri, Kano, Kaduna and Zaria, not to panic as we have more than what it
takes to defend them and deal decisively with the remnants of the terrorists
group.
“We would like to reiterate that Boko Haram terrorism, as it was
known, is gone for good. We are just counting down to the day when all the few
remnants will be totally wiped out or brought to justice.”
THEWILL recalls that Boko Haram released another video, on Sunday, in which Shekau denied being
killed or wounded in any Nigerian Air Force raid.
“The unbelievers of Nigeria I am going to be addressing you and
Buhari and Idris Deby. The whole world should listen. I am alive. When my days
are over you people will not see me again,” he said.
“You should make all the preparations you want to make, you and
your Ban kii Moon. I am trying to make the whole world to know that we are not
gentle people or sociologists; it is because of God that we evade you when you
throw out your bombs.
“Do you think democracy is religion, you Hausa of Nigeria? If
not for God where will we be? My brothers and sister, return to the Quran. You
Buhari, go and beg people for money claiming you will collect the young girls
back when it is all a lie. “If you want your girls, bring back our brothers.”
