Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau has mocked President Muhammadu Buhari in a new audio message released on August 15, Saturday.
The commander of the terrorists who named himself in the 8-minutes Hausa language message as the “leader of the west Africa wing” of Islamic State (IS), defined President Buhari as an ostentatious liar who they will definately fight.
It should be noted that Buhari, who came into power on May 29 prommising to end Boko Haram had last week ordered his army chiefs to end the insurgency in three months.
But Shekau pledges to fight on until the sharia law is establishing in every part of Nigeria.
He said: “This ostentatious person, a liar — I mean Buhari, who raised arms to crush us in three months. You Buhari, why didn’t you say in three years?”

“We will certainly fight you by the grace of Allah until we establish Allah’s law everywhere on Earth.”
The Boko Haram leader also rebuffed claims by Chadian leader Idriss Deby that he is dead.
Nigerians while reacting to the surface of Shekau doubt his words, as they didn’t see him only listen to him.
You will recall that Chadian president announced on August 12 that efforts to combat neighbouring Nigeria’s Boko Haram militants had succeeded in “decapitating” the group and would be wrapped up “by the end of the year”.
Shekau’s non-appearance from Boko Haram videos in recent months has powered rumours that he might have been killed or injured.
His last video appearance was in February, when a person claiming to be him threatened to disrupt Nigeria’s presidential poll held the next month.
The group has unveiled at least five videos since then but Shekau has not appeared in any of them.
Efforts to reach an agreement to end the insurgency, including a 2014 deal raised by Chad, have repeatedly failed during the six-year terrorism waged by the group in its bid to set up a state in the northeast following to strict Islamic laws.
