The leader of the extremist Boko Haram sect threatens to burn down more
schools and kill teachers. But he denies his fighters are killing
children.The group’s leader Abubakar Shekau speaks in a video released Saturday and denies his group is negotiating peace with the Nigerian government.
He says he supports fighters who have burned down several schools in Yobe on July 6 but that the Quran teaches one must not kill children, women and elderly people. Dozens of children have been killed.
But he says “School teachers who are teaching Western education? We will kill them! We will kill them.”
“We fully support the attack on this Western education school in Mamudo,” in northern Yobe state, Abubakar Shekau said in the 10-minute video message.
The video was delivered to AFP in a manner consistent with previous statements from the Islamist leader, who has been declared a global terrorist by the United States.
In the video, Shekau described all “Western education schools” as a “plot against Islam”.
He however stopped short of claiming to have ordered the attack.
“We don’t attack students,” he said in the Hausa language message
Three
suspected Hezbollah members, a co-owner of Amigo supermarket, Mustapha
Fawaz, and two other Lebanese suspects, Abdallah Thahani and Talal Ahmed
Rodo, were yesterday denied bail by a federal high court in Abuja.
In his ruling on bail application, Justice Adeniyi Ademola held that the offence for which the trio were standing trial were grave and since the accused persons have dual citizenship, there was likelihood that they might not be available to face their trial.
Consequently, Justice Ademola fixed July 29, 30 and 31, 2013 for trial and accordingly returned the accussed to the custody of the State Security Service (SSS).
LEADERSHIP WEEKEND recalled that at the resumption of proceedings last Monday, the accused persons’ lawyer, Chief Robert Clarke (SAN) leading Ahmed Raji (SAN) urged the court to admit his clients to bail on liberal terms.
Clarke also asked for an order of court directing the SSS to reopen or unseal the premises of Amigo Supermarket (4th accused) and Wonderland Amusement Park Resort (5th accused), as well as order the SSS to return all personal items seized from the accused persons.
The Lebanese’s lawyers, while arguing the application for bail insisted that by provision of section 36(5) of the CFRN 1999 as amended, their clients were presumed innocent until proven guilty, and that none of the accused persons had neither been tried nor convicted of any criminal offences in the past.
