We’ll Bomb Abuja Again, Boko Haram Leader Threatens …Claims Responsibility For Nyanya Blast

Five days after the dastardly act, Boko Haram leader, Imam Abubakar Shekau, last Friday finally confirmed speculations that his group was responsible for Monday morning rush hour bombing of a crowded bus station in Nyanya Motor Park on the outskirts of Abuja that killed at least 75 people and left hundreds seriously wounded.
Shekau in a 28-minute video message posted online spat fire, vowing to carry out more attacks in and around Abuja.
He claimed that his men are already stationed in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and environs.
“We are the ones that carried out the attack in Abuja,” Shekau, who was dressed in military uniform and seated with a Kalashnikov resting on his left shoulder, said.
Addressing President Goodluck Jonathan directly, he said: “We are in your city.”
Shekau, who spoke in Arabic and Hausa in the video, remains on the run despite a manhunt for him by the Nigerian and American governments that placed a bounty on his head.
He was reported dead last year by the military but he debunked the claim in a later statement.
Boko Haram, which means “Western education is sin”, has killed thousands of people in brazen attacks on schools, homes, church, mosques and government buildings since it started the five-year uprising.
Meanwhile, a forensic criminologist and security co-ordinator at the American University of Nigeria, Dr. Lionel Von Frederck Rawlins, has disclosed that Al-Qaeda and Al-Shabab terrorist organisations operating in the Islamic Maghreb and Arabian Peninsula have been helping members of Boko Haram carry out their operations in Nigeria.
Rawlins, a US marine, who has worked in Europe, Africa, Asia, Central and South America, the Middle East and Far East as a counter-terrorist specialist, explained that Nigeria is under siege from terrorists from other lands.
He advised the Nigerian government to seek help in dealing with the insurgency.
According to him, the Nigerian government and people “only have to ask and they will send people.
That is what it is now. It is a showman thing.
He explained that Boko Haram currently receives help from other globally recognised terror groups. What you have now are “insurgents from other countries. They are trained by Al-Qaeda, Al-Shabab and other groups. They send people here to train them. They also go for training and come back but you must remember, many terrorist groups are in this together and they don’t have problem training and supporting each other because they know that one day, they can call each other for help and when they do, they expect that you will come and help.
“They may say ‘we need you to help us get Mali’, and then you send people because they trained you, gave you funding and all the resources you need, so that was done for you to pay back. So, you are correct to say they got people to help them. There are times also that survivors report that people who came with Boko Haram to kill them were speaking a language they have never heard before; nothing out of Nigeria, so they could be French, Spanish, something from Mali, CAR (Central African Republic), Kenya, etc.
They know instinctively that it is not a Nigerian tongue which proves the fact that they bring in outsiders.”
He said the Nigerian people need to give military the support needed to boost morale.
