Nigerian Army lied, I don’t have any farm in Sambisa forest – Shekau
The leader of the Islamic sect, Jama’atu Ahlussunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad faction of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has reacted to the viral claim that the Nigerian military and some local hunters and civilian JST discovered and looted his farm in Sambisa forest.
In a fresh audio released, the Boko Haram leader described the claim as false and baseless, adding that he does not have farm in the Sambisa forest.
In a video in which only a voice believed to be his could be heard with his picture and scenes from the North forming the background, which was released on Thursday, Shekau who spoke in Hausa, boasted that the military had not been able to put his group in check.
The militant leader also claimed responsibility for the bomb explosions that rocked Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State on Tuesday, February 23.
The explosions led to the death of over 16 persons and injured more than 60 across the town.
According to Shekau, an infiltration team carried out the attack.
