Nnamdi Kanu promises To Expose Buhari Govt, Governor El-Rufai

IS said that the beheading of the 11 Christians, was part of its revenge against the killing of its leaders, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and Abul-Hasan Al-Muhajir, its spokesman who were killed in Syria in late October after failing to negotiate their release.

The insurgent claimed its leaders were “captured in the past weeks in north-eastern Borno state”.

“We killed them as revenge for the killings of our leaders, including Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Abdul-Hasan Al-Muhajir in Iraq and Syria,” IS was quoted to have said.

Reacting to the killing of the 11 Christians in Nigeria, Kanu accused Governor El-Rufai and President Buhari’s government of complicity.

The IPOB leader tweeted: “Get ready! I will reveal the complicity of @MBuhari’s govt. @elrufai & @NGRPresident cabal in the beheading of 11 Christians by #ISIS in a video released on 26/12/2019.”

“Date: Tue. 31/12/ 2019. Time: 7: 00 PM Biafraland Time. Join via Radio Biafra FB, FM, App, satellite & online,” Kanu added.

Kanu’s allegation came hours after President Buhari urged Nigerians not to allow insurgents to divide them along religious lines in reacting to the alleged killing of 11 Christians in Borno state, northern Nigeria by the Islamic State (IS).

In a statement released by Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, President Buhari described the execution as evil, adding that his administration will not lower its guards in the war against terrorism.

“I am profoundly saddened and shocked by the death of innocent hostages in the hands of remorseless, godless, callous gangs of mass murderers that have given Islam a bad name through their atrocities,” the Nigerian President said.
