Boko Haram terror group cannot capture President Muhammadu Buhari as it threatened in its latest video, the Nigerian Defence Headquarters said on Thursday, describing the threat as a joke.
In the video, Boko Haram said “by the grace of Allah, under the leadership of the leader of this movement our Imam (Shekau), we will capture Buhari hand to hand”.
“This message we are sending out today is not an old one. We prepared it today, Monday, 12 September, 2016 in the calendar of infidels. (Lt. Gen. Tukur) Buratai, we will deal with all our enemies, we are prepared at all times. Just as you all love life, so do we love death.
“This time around, no retreat, no surrender, in sha Allah. We shall be granted victory over you all.”
But the military said the video was the same one released in 2014 and dismissed as a joke threats contained in the video regarding capturing President Buhari.
The Acting Director Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar, described the threat as empty, lacking in substance and a joke.
Abubakar said the military had dealt with the insurgents in such a way that they had migrated to the cyberspace to make empty threats.
He told The Punch newspaper: “We don’t have any comment. We know what we have done, and what we are planning to do. The only place they have agenda for now is the social media.
“The only ground the Boko Haram can go to hide and pretend to be alive is the social media because it is everybody’s home.
“The so-called video is an attempt by the remnants to remind us that there were once some Boko Haram elements.
“The issue of the threat to capture PMB is a complete joke and a dream of the century. Therefore, the entire clip should be ignored as everybody is appreciative of our feat against Boko Haram.
“It is not just an empty threat; it is a threat that has no substance at all. It is a senseless threat from their imagination. Nigeria should simply ignore it.”
