Shekau threatens minister, journalists in new video

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau yesterday threatened the life of Communication and Digital Economy Minister Isa Pantami.

Shekau, in a nine minute video, accused the minister of embarking on a mission to block telephone lines to frustrate the activities of his group.

Speaking in a combination of Hausa, Arabic and Kanuri, the leader of the terrorist group also condemned western education and democracy which he said were alien to the Prophet of Islam and his followers.

Sheik Abubakar Shekau warned Pantami to steer clear of Boko Haram.

He also warned journalists particularly those of BBC, Radio Germany, Radio France International, Dandal Kura radio and the newspapers to be mindful of what they report about Boko Haram.

He also mocked President Buhari over his recent visit to Maiduguri where he was allegedly booed and asked him to ‘repent’.
