THE REASON WE BOMBED UNIVERSITY OF MAIDUGURI- BOKO HARAM

Boko Haram Leader, Abubakar Shekau

The dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram, believed to be responsible for the bomb attacks on University of Maiduguri has revealed why the institution was a target.

The elusive leader of the Boko Haram insurgents, Abubakar Shekau, said in an audio uploaded to YouTube that the attack was a retaliation to the university’s “ungodly” activities.

Although the authenticity of the audio could not be immediately confirmed, Shekau was quoted as saying in the audio thus:

“The bomb that happened this morning, it’s my people. Don’t deceive people that it’s a mosque, how would you build a mosque and do ungodly thing in it? We are not angry with Nigeria. You didn’t kill anyone in Sambisa.

“We are praying that we don’t change; Koran is our teacher; this is the message we are sending to you. Are you (Buhari) as powerful as God?

“You should know it is Shekau talking and I’m alive and it’s we that did it, even if King Pharaoh repents, we will not accept it.”

The authenticity of the recording has not been confirmed as the Nigerian army has remained silent on the issue.
