This is why many Northern leaders are afraid of speaking against Boko Haram, if they come after you the government might not be able to protect you from them. I just hope they will protect Emir Sanusi.
Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has threatened to attack the Emir of Kano, Muhummadu Sanusi II, in retaliation for the Emir’s call on Kano residents and other Nigerians to arm and defend themselves against the heartless insurgents.
In a new video, Shekau said his group does not consider Sanusi as a true Muslim, and will attack him.
The Emir had earlier issued a call to arms after a series of deadly attacks by Boko Haram militants in Kano. Speaking at Kano’s central Mosque in October, the Emir charged the people of Kano to arm and defend themselves against the sect, which is responsible for more than 13,000 deaths.
Militants later launched a deadly assault on the Mosque on Friday, November 28, detonating multiple bombs and shooting some worshippers to death.
Over 100 people died in the attack which was believed to be targeted at Emir Sanusi.
The Emir, who had travelled out of Nigeria at the time, visited the Mosque on his return, and re-affirmed his vow that the Kano people will not cower in the face of Boko Haram’s threats.
In a 19-minute new video first released Saturday, Shekau said his group remains prepared to fight and kill anyone who challenges its ideology, and all non-Muslims and “fake” Muslims like Emir Sanusi.
“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 not that of the constitution and not religion of the Emir of Kano
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Jonathan, Obasanjo, Atiku, Babangida, Obama, Bush, Clinton, but the religion of Allah,” he 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, you should know that you are only but the King of Kano, King of Central Bank, King of money, you are only Sanusi Lamido,” he said.
“Our own government is defined as government of the Allah by the Allah and for the Allah not as you define you own government as the government of the people by the people and for the people,” he said.
Shekau said his men will fight local hunters, who crushed their advances in parts of the northeast.
