Nigeria Army reacts to new Boko Haram video

The Nigerian Army has reacted to the recent Boko Haram video showing the sect’s leader, Abubakar Shekau.

In its reaction after the video was released, the Army spokesperson, Sani Usman, asked Nigerians to ignore the threats made by Mr. Shekau in the video including threats to attack cities like Maiduguri, Kano, and Kaduna.

“We want to assure Nigerians especially the residents of Maiduguri, Kano, Kaduna and Zaria not to panic as we have more than what it takes to defend them and deal decisively with the remnants of the terrorists group,” the spokesperson said.

He said “We would like to reiterate that Boko Haram terrorism as it was known, is gone for good. We are just counting down to the day when all the few remnants will be totally wiped out or brought to justice."
