The
disputed leader of Boko Haram says he is still in charge of the
Islamist group despite a statement Islamic State declaring Abu Musab
al-Barnawi as the new leader in a new message.
We reported it yesterday
that in an exclusive report by BBC Africa, the Islamic State terrorist
group, ISIS, announced a new leader for the Nigerian insurgent group,
Boko Haram named Abu Musab al-Barnawi, replacing the well known Abubakar
Shekau.
In 10-minute 23-second audio message in Arabic and Hausa obtained exlusively by SaharaReporters
and monitored in New York, the erstwhile leader of Boko Haram,
Abubakar Shekau has reacted to the viral news of his successor which was
announce public by ISIS via its magazine.
Shekau in the message, said he was deceived, but he will never
stray from the ideology of the Jama’atu Ahl as-Sunnah li-Da’awati
wal-Jihad which he said had a basis in the Quran, adding that nothing
would deter the sect from pursuing it's cause even if they are called
‘kwawarij’ meaning those that opposed arbitration as a means to chose a
new leader.
Below is excerpts of Shekau’s words in Hausa:
“All blessings be to Almighty Allah, and his His Prophet SAW. I am Imam Abubakar Shekau
“This is the message to the world, to those who can understand
Hausa and any other languages it can be translated for a clear
understanding of the message, which is why we are sending this message
to the world.
“The content of my message goes thus. We have heard news going
round and attributed to people we had earlier pledge allegiance to. Even
though we are not against them base on the message we heard in the
world radio but we are still on our ideology.
“We know those we differ with, and I have written on this long
ago. All we wrote have been documented with me, some eight pages and
some nine pages stating their kind of ideology.
“Because I stated it clear that I am against the principle
where someone will dwell in the society with the infidels without making
public his opposition or anger against infidels publicly as it is
stated in the Quran. Anyone doing such can't be a real Muslim thick and
thin. This is what our ideology proved. And that is where I am, to them,
a Muslim can dwell in the society and do his marketing compromising
core foundations.
“I want the world to know that we are still holding our
ideology and tied with the Quran, we will not derail and will not revolt
but will continue to remain in the cause of Allah. Following Prophet
SAW is compulsory for us, and we will follow it to the end.
“This is our stand, and we are still in the cause of Jama’atu
Ahl as-Sunnah li-Da’awati wal-Jihad and Allah will help us. May Allah
strengthen us to remain in this cause.
“We are still members of Jama’atu Ahl as-Sunnah li-Da’awati
wal-Jihad, no matter what they call us, we remain what we are. No matter
what we have our basis in Quran. No matter what they call us, what we
aspire is to justify our ideology in the Quran which is ultimate because
we have not derailed. We are on and in the future, we will not accept
any emissary except the one we can attest he is sincere and truthful for
Allah and His cause.
“In the first place, we sat and I was deceived, they said I
should write my ideology to be taken if there is a mistake they will
point out and bring back. They now deceive me, and it is base on some
authorities and today I found out that there is one who is following
principles of infidel which they want me to follow, and Prophet has
stopped us against such.
"We are still in the cause of Allah and will never depart in
the struggle to establish an Islamic caliphate and standing by Islam. We
will continue to work for the cause of Allah no going back.
“Anyone that caused this, no problem, if it's possible may
Allah show him the correct path and if it is not so may Allah protect us
from his mischief.”
