According to Premium Times, the Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi has been issued a death threat by Boko Haram sect leader, Shekau. This was done in retaliation for the Emir’s call on Kano residents and other Nigerians to arm and defend themselves against the dreaded sect.
In a video made available to Premium Times, Mr Shekau said his group does not consider Mr. Sanusi a true Muslim, and will attack him whenever an opportunity presents itself.
The fearless leader said, "Before I start talking to my brothers who believed in me and the religion of Allah not the religion of democracy, not that of western education, those who believed in the religion of the Quran not that of the constitution and not religion of the Emir of Kano Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Jonathan, Obasanjo, Atiku, Babangida, Obama, Bush, Clinton, but the religion of Allah.”
He continued, “Now listen to me Emir of Kano. I am talking to you and only you because of your recent utterances. Let me inform you now that you are late, you should know that you are only but the King of Kano, King of Central Bank, King of money, you are only Sanusi Lamido.”
Shekau threatened to also go after vigilante groups and hunters who stand in their way. He said, “Because you are made the Emir of Kano that is why you got angry and was calling on the Vigilante groups and hunters to attack us. Let me tell you that the hunters and the vigilante groups will fail and you will also fail.”
Speaking on other Islamic groups in the country, Shekau mentioned that he refuses to acknowledge them and he regarded them as pagans. He said the Izala, Tijjaniyya, Qadiriyya and Shiite Islamic groups are pagans and his group will continue to kill their followers.
