Shekau Vows To Attack Emir Of Kano Over Self Defence Advice

According to PremiumTimesreport, Boko Haram kingpin, Abubakar Shekau, has threatened to attack the Emir of Kano, Muhummadu Sanusi II, in retaliation to the Emir’s call on Kano residents and other Nigerians to arm and defend themselves against the terror organization. Speaking aggressively in a new video released, Shekau said his group does not consider Mr. Sanusi a true Muslim, and will attack him whenever an opportunity presents itself. The Emir had earlier issued a call to arms after a series of deadly attacks by suspected Boko Haram militants in Kano. Speaking at Kano’s central Mosque in October, the Emir charged the people of Kano to arm and defend themselves against the sect, which is responsible for more than 13,000 deaths. Militants later launched a deadly assault on the Mosque on Friday, November 28, detonating multiple bombs and shooting worshippers to death.
