Boko Haram Lists Conditions For Peace

Members of the Jaamatus Ahlus Sunnah Lid Daawatis Wal Jihad, a.k.a. Boko Haram yesterday celebrated the inability of the Federal Government to celebrate the nation’s 51st independence anniversary at the Eagle Square owing to threats by the group and the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), to bomb the nation’s capital city if the celebration went ahead.

Members of the sect have also restated their determination to continue to unleash terror on government and its security forces, should the federal government refuse to meet their earlier demands.

It will be recalled that after the federal government announced that the celebration will be low keyed and denied insinuations that the low key celebration was due to fear of MEND or Boko Haram, there was a military and Police parade inside the Presidential Villa, with foreign ambassadors, High Commissioners’ and Chief de missions present at the villa to celebrate Nigeria’s 51st Independence anniversary.

Vanguard was told by security sources, that they have intelligence reports indicating that members of the Boko Haram sect celebrated their ability to restrict the independence anniversary to Aso Rock rather than the national ground, Eagle Square, where such occasions are usually held.
Incidentally, security measures put in place following the threats of the two groups are still in place and will remain for days as security agencies feel, both groups especially Boko Haram were put at bay because of the heavy security presence and checks going on in the FCT.

According to the source, “we have not rested since last Thursday and there is no indication that we would rest soon because we may be deceived that they have had a change of mind to attack. So the security cordons will go on until we are satisfied the risk threats have reduced”.

Meanwhile, spokesman of the group, Abu Qaqa in an email message sent to newsmen written in Hausa language yesterday said that “the country would not have peace until there is 100 per cent implementation of Sharia law in the country as enshrined in the holy Quran as well as immediate release of all our members who were detained and in the custody of security agencies for no just cause”.

He said the group was not satisfied with the report of the Presidential committee on Security in the north on possible negotiation with the federal government, adding that the members were even surprised that the committee told the world, that they have had a meeting with the sect in the course of their investigation, insisting that no committee ever sat with the group.

He dismissed the recommendation of the committee on the involvement of the Sultan of Sokoto, Emir of Bauchi or Abubakar Giro in the negotiation talk saying, “all these people are not respected by the sect members, and could not mediate for them”.

Meanwhile, unidentified gunmen yesterday shot and killed an Igbo butcher in broad daylight at the popular Baga Road Market. There was also a reported incident of an explosion at the same Baga Road which claimed two lives while some were seriously injured. Following these incidents, most shops in the market remained closed.

  3. You’ve been deceived with this issue of Boko Haram. I’m living in the core North of Katsina State. I wake up every morning travel to Daura about 80 km. away from my hometown. Sometimes I even travel to Kano about 170 km. from Katsina State capital city. Nobody talks of Boko Haram, in the markets, hospitals, schools, etc, everyone minds his business, both moslems and non-moslems. To a surprise it’s only when you hold any newspaper from the southern Nigeria one would know that Boko Haram is something of national issue or discussion. This is so because the issue has been politicised in order to disadvantage some section of this country in quest of leadership. For general information this will not happen. By 2015 nobody in the north will be bribed or deceived by using religion or ethnicity to rig or impose a weak or sectional candidate for the country’s number one seat.

  4. nigerian government are FOOLs they only no how still money, but not how to govern. cant they diffrenciates between freedom fihgters and terrorist? negotiating wit terrorist. you will kill ur self. kill those u ve arested hunt the remaining onece and elimite them b4 you rest. paharps they will oneday demand 4 presidents HEAD. learn from USA

  5. Beloved, these satanic sects are noting but Dirty Desert Demons (DDD) they are simply on assignment to shed bloods. Their demand to uphold Islam Sharia law and Quran, is noting but pretext to perpetrate their demonic act, quite frankly I th…ink they are guilty party under the same Sharia law.

    Brethren relax, they will soon expired, who is old enough to remember the story of maitasuna …in the 80s.. the glory of this great country 9ja..Can not be trash. Following the history, we’ve seen many like that they’ve come and gone, just like maitasuna . But the fact remains that, we as a nation we’ve drifted away from God and his word, somehow all sorts of evils began to happens, we have broken the protected edged around ourselves, so all kind of serpent is biting us…

    We must call our nation back to God and wk toward establishment of Gods moral and spiritual reign in the heart of every Nigerian, so the blood of these innocent people been shed by these Dirty Desert Demo call Boko Harm, will not be on our head..

    Then we can call on God he will certainly hear us, that popular song says.. “When I call on Jesus all things are possible”….Yes.. These Dirty Desert Demons, (DDD) Bokon Harams, will have no choice but to expire like their predecessor…so Lets call on God sincerely. GOD BLESS NIGERIA, WE HAIL THEE …..9JA……….

  6. What is mo dangerous than an illitrate? An educated one. These boko haram guys are half baked…u know now. Afghan women are agitating against any kind of negotiations with the taliban, why? They don’t want to return to the slavery they were once subjected to. And that is an islamic country. Yan matan hausawa ku tashi. These illitrates want to use religion to enslave you. I am sure they can’t read, let alone interprete the quran. Don’t worry i will soon deal with them all……….hahaha….he laughs
