Shekau Claims Responsibility For UNIMAID Attack

Leader of Boko Haram insurgents,  Abubakar Shekau has reacted to yesterday bomb attack on the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID).

In an audio tape allegedly released on You Tube,  Shekau said the attack was as a result of the ‘ungodly’ activities going on in the mosque.

It will be recall that there was a bomb blast yesterday at a mosque located inside University of Maiduguri in which a professor and six others including teenage suicide bombers lost their lives.

Shekau was quoted as saying in the recording: “The bomb that happened this morning, it’s my people. Don’t deceive people that it’s a mosque, how would you build a mosque and do ungodly things in it.

“We are not angry with Nigeria. You didn’t kill anyone in Sambisa. We are praying that we don’t change; Koran is our teacher; this is the message we are sending to you. Are you [Buhari] as powerful as God?

“You should know it’s Shekau talking and I’m alive and it’s we that did it, even if King Pharaoh repents, we will not accept it.”

We are making efforts to get the authenticity of the audio tape.
