The leader of Boko Haram, Imam Abubakar Shekau, has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to get converted to Islam or he will regret not doing so.
Shekau, in another video on You Tube today, said that even if he as the leader of Boko Haram dies before Jonathan changes his religion, he will regret not taking the decision.
He said that there was no truth in the position taken by Jonathan that the government will dialogue with his group.
He said of the promised dialogue: “He’s lying. He cannot do it.”
Shekau went further: “If Jonathan does not repent as a Muslim, even if I die myself, Jonathan’s going to see. He’s looking at me like I’m nobody, but he’ll see.”
Shekau restated the position of the group that it carried out the attack on Kano City last week Friday.
He, however, denied that the group killed civilians, saying: “We’re killing police officers. We’re killing soldiers and other government people who are fighting Allah and Christians who are killing Muslims and talking badly about our Islamic religion.
“I am not against anyone. But if Allah asks me to kill someone, I will kill him and I will enjoy killing him like I am killing a chicken.”
