Boko Haram Leader sends warning to the new USA president, Donald Trump

Boko Haram leader  has reacted to the election of Donald Trump to the White House as he issued a warning to him that “the war has just begun” against the West, AFP reports.

In an audio messaged posted on YouTube late Sunday, Abubakar Shekau warned Trump that war has just begun.

 

“Do not be overwhelmed by people like Donald Trump and the global coalition fighting our brethren in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and everywhere,” Abubakar Shekau said.

“We remain steadfast on our faith and we will not stop,” he said in the hour-long message. “To us, the war has just begun.”

According to reports, the Boko Haram terrorist group have been terrorizing Nigeria for seven years and over 20,000 lives have been lost in these past 7 years.

Boko Haram, which last year pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, has been in the grip of a power struggle since late last year.

The IS high command said in August that Shekau had been replaced as leader by Abu Musab al-Barnawi, the 22-year-old son of Boko Haram’s founder Mohammed Yusuf.

But Shekau claims that he is still the boss and still in charge.
