According to SaharaReporters, Boko Haram sect mercurial leader, Imam Abubakar Shekau in the new video released this (yesterday) night has finally put to rest doubt regarding a man, "Danladi Ahmadu" that has been parading himself as Secretary General of the sect.
Danladi Ahmadu has been presented in Nigeria's and international media mostly on the VOA Hausa service as the man negotiating with President Goodluck Jonathan's scribe, Mr. Hassan Tukur and Chadian President, Idris Derby promising to release of the over 200 Chibok girls in purported ceasefire talks.
Shekau in the video watched by one of our sources in Maiduguri said,
"We don't know that liar and fake Danladi Ahmadu, we never met this liar with his character as he is claiming.
"We have nothing to do with him, and our war is not ending, expect more, what you are seeing is just little. There is no retreat in this Jihad; Allah is with us, and we are succeeding."
About the Chibok girls, he said,
"Don't you know the over 200 Chibok schoolgirls have converted to Islam? They have now memorised two chapters of the Koran," while laughing, he continued"We have married them off. They are in their marital homes."
Also,
yesterday a bomb went off at a busy bus station in Gombe killing at
least 30 people. Some residents of the town said the blast occurred at
about 9am when the bus terminus was full with travellers.
The residents claimed that about 30 corpses lied at the bus terminus immediately after the explosion
An eyewitness, Ibrahim Issa, said,
“It was quite unfortunate that today (Friday) will go down in the history of Gombe as Black Friday as the usually packed full terminus of the state transport authority aka Gombe line was attacked by suspected terrorists.
“At about 9 am, an improvised explosive device went off at the park, while passengers were boarding commercial vehicles to various destinations across the country.
“The blast left scores of people dead, with many others sustaining various degrees of injury and 12 vehicles were affected.”
Gombe State Commissioner of Police, Kudu Nma could not ascertain the number of casualties, but a mortuary attendant with the Specialist Hospital confirmed that 23 bodies were brought from the scene of the incident.
The police commissioner, however, confirmed the arrest of three persons suspected to be masterminds of the attack. The suspects were said to have sneaked into the park in a Volkswagen Sharon bus, with the inscription Yobe line on it.
Meanwhile, the state Governor, Dr. Ibrahim Dankwambo, said eight people lost their lives as a result of the blast, 46 others were injured but majority of them had been discharged from the hospital, while 15 were still on admission. He said this at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe, shortly after visiting survivors of the incident, who were receiving medical attention.
