Book Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has vowed to kill the
Emir
of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II who asked Kano residents to defend
themselves against the sect.
Shekau issued the threat
in a new video posted on youtube. In the video, Shekau said: “Now listen
to me Emir of Kano. I am talking to you and only you because of your
recent utterances. Let me inform you now that you are late (dead). You
should know that you are only the king of Kano, king of Central Bank,
King of money, you are only Sanusi Lamido.”
Apart from
vowing to kill Sanusi, who was accused of practicing fake Islam, Shekau
said his group would also kill local vigilantes and hunters who have
also been attacking members of the sect.
“Because you
are made the Emir of Kano, that is why you got angry and was calling on
the vigilante group and hunters and the vigilante groups will fail and
you will also fail,” said Shekau.
He also threatened to kill followers of other Islamic sects, saying they were pagans.
He
said they should embrace the authentic Islam “before I start talking to
my brothers who believed in me and the religion of Allah, not the
religion of democracy, not that
of western education, those who believed in the religion of the Quran
and not that of the constitution and not religion of the Emir of Kano.
“We
do not practice the religion of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, not the religion
of Jonathan, not the religion of Obasanjo, not the religion of Atiku,
not the religion of Babangida, not the religion of Obama, not the
religion of Bush, not the religion of Clinton, but the religion of
Allah.”
The threat is coming on the heels of the recent
bombing of the Kano Central Mosque in Kano during which over 100 people
were killed.
After the incident, Emir Sanusi, who was
not in the country at the time the attack took place, vowed that the
people of Kano would not be intimidated by Boko Haram.
