Boko Haram To Jonathan: You Need Amnesty From Us
Leader of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, Ibrahim Shekau,
has released an audio clip in which he dismissed the reported moves by
the Federal Government to consider granting amnesty to the sect. In the
30-minute recording, Shekau, who spoke in Hausa, Arabic and English,
said:
It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan recently set up an Amnesty Committee to work out the process of granting amnesty to the Islamic sect. But Shekau insisted they are the ones that will grant amnesty to the Jonathan governmant an that they are not yet ready.
Quote
“We
are surprise that today it is the Federal Government saying it will
grant us amnesty. Oh God, is it we who will grant you amnesty or you are
the one to grant us amnesty?
“What have we done? If there is room for forgiveness, we are not going to do it until God give us permission to do it. Have you forgotten your sin, have you forgotten what you have done to us in Plateau the state you called Jos? We emerge to avenge killings of our Muslim brothers and the destruction of our religion."
