Boko Haram Claims Responsibility For Attack On Military Convoy

Leader of Boko Haram
Jihadists, Abubakar Shekau, releases a new video earlier today through a
journalist, Ahmad Salkida​, ​in which the sect’s leader spoke for about 10
minutes‎​. He said several female officers were abducted​​ during​ ​Boko Haram
attack on a joint police/military convoy near Maiduguri ​on June 20. 



His speech
is then followed by scenes of the fierce attack, which took place on the
Maiduguri-Damboa road. In the 17 minutes and 25 seconds video, graphic contents
of one of the terror victims are shown, as well as images of another set of
victims perhaps about to be beheaded. Shekau,​ ​takes credit for the attack and
mocked Nigerian security officials for lying that Boko Haram had been defeated.

‎ “I want to tell you that we are the one that attacked the convoy, here are
the vehicles for all to witness, we are the ones that abducted the female
police officers. ​I​n fact, they are senior female police officers,” ​Shekau
boasted. “What we did is nothing when compared to our women, children, and
friends that have been wiped out or arrested for many years by the Nigerian
government. 



We only abducted them to serve as slaves to us,”‎ he added. He also
declares that the women his group abducted are fewer than 10 in number, and
referred to them as “slaves”.
