Boko Haram Claims Responsibility For Borno Famers Massacre
The Abubakar Shekau’s faction of the Islamist extremist group, Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for the killing of over 43 farmers in Zabarmari area of Borno state last weekend.
In a new three minutes 37-second video released online, the sect members said they carried out the attack because the farmers arrested one of its members and handed him to the Nigerian military.
“You think you can nab our brother and hand him to soldiers and live in peace,” a masked commander of the group asked in the video. You think Allah will forget what you have done to our brother” a masked commander of the group asked.
The commander also swore that those who have arrested Boko Haram terrorists or have been spying on them and have not repented will be given the same treatment.
