Allah recommended us to kill the people of Baga - Shekau

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has claimed responsibility for the mass killings in Baga and threatened more violence.

 

In a video posted on youtube yesterday, Shekau said "we are the ones who fought the people of Baga, and we have killed them with such a killing as he (Allah) commanded us in his book". The video shows weapons supposedly captured from a military base at baga.

Shekau said in Hausa "This is just the begining of the killings. What you've just witnessed is a tip of the iceberg, more deaths are coming".

"This will mark the end of politics and democracy in Nigeria" he warned.
