Having succeeded in cowing Nigerian security forces and emboldened by the successful attacks on Kuje Prison in Abuja, the seat of government in Nigeria, which happened after attacking Abuja – Kaduna bound train few months ago, terrorists have threatened to abuduct President Muhammadu Buhari.
Recall that Buhari’s advance party convoy to Katsina his home state was attacked few in Katsina State a few days to the last Eid holiday where two persons sustained injuries in the attack, which the presidency said was repelled.
The attack on the convoy happened on the day when the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) invaded Kuje Prison in Abuja and freed over 800 inmates, including all the terrorists in detention.
In a new video that is trending presently the terrorists who abducted over 60 passengers of the Abuja Kaduna train on March 28, threatened to abduct and kill Buhari and Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai. The terrorists also boasted that they would destroy the country, kill the remaining passengers in their custody and sell out the others. Some of the passengers were released after reportedly paying N100 million each.
One of the terrorists threatened that unless the government comply with their demands, they would turn the area into an abattoir.
He said, “This is our message to the government of Nigeria and just as you have seen these people here, by God’s grace, you will see your leaders; your senators and governors will come before us. These ones you are seeing here, we will keep some as our slaves and sell them off just as our Imam told you in the past,” he said.
He further stated in Hausa: “Just like the Chibok girls that were sold off, we will equally sell these ones as slaves. If you don’t adhere to our demands, we will kill the ones we need to kill and sell the remaining. By God’s grace, El-Rufai, Buhari, we will bring you here,” they boasted.
