According to AFP, Boko Haram has released a new video clip which shows the leader of the terrorist group, Abubakar Shekau, threatening to attack the oil rich Niger delta region and several other prominent Nigerians.
Shekau, dressed in a military camouflage along with his lieutenants, are seen mounted on top of an armoured tank and shots are fired in the air at the beginning of the video. Shekau urged his fighters to "hold on to your weapons and continue fighting".
"Let them understand that our work is not confined to Yobe, Borno and Adamawa. Make them understand that we are not restricted by emergency rule. They should understand we are under the canopy of Allah."
He said that his militant group are fighting Christians "wherever we meet them and those who believe in democracy, those who pursue Western education...we will kill whoever practices democracy."
Addressing the Niger Delta, Shekau said,"Niger Delta, you are in trouble. You will in coming days see your refinery bombed.
Also in the video, Shekau admitted killing an Islamic cleric, Adam Albani, about two weeks ago in the northern Nigerian city of Zaria. He also threatened to kill other Muslim and political figures in the country, including the respected Shehu of Borno,and the Emir of Kano.
He slammed them as "infidels". Shekau also listed former military heads of state, Generals Muhammadu Buhari and Ibrahim Babangida, as infidels.
"The reason why I will kill you is you are infidels. You follow democracy. Whoever follows democracy is an infidel. This is Shekau. This is why I am in enmity with you", Shekau said.
He also vowed that his group will henceforth destroy any schools whenever it sees them.
