Boko Haram Leader Shekau #BringBackOurGirls , yes #BringBackOurSoldiers

Some are calling it a kind of ‘thumbing of the nose’ to Nigerian leaders and to the Nigerian People. But that seems the motive in the latest ‘non-legal’ attack by a group keeping the Nigerian society on edge.

The leader of the Boko Haram terrorist group, Abubakar Shekau, has vowed not to release more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls in his group's captivity, according to a report in the Abuja-based PREMIUM TIMES. According to the newspaper, Shekau is saying the sect will only accede to the #BringBackOurGirls campaign after the release of Boko Haram militants held by the Nigerian government.

Mr. Shekau made the demand in a new video published Sunday, where the Islamist leader restated a position he had maintained since the abduction of the girls by Boko Haram militants April 14.

"Nigerians are saying BringBackOurGirls, and we are telling Jonathan to bring back our arrested warriors, our army," he said in the video seen by the PREMIUM TIMES.

Mr. Shekau claimed responsibility for the Emab Plaza bomb attack in Abuja back on June 25 and another blast at Apapa, Lagos, which killed at least two people. The Emab Plaza attack killed more than 20 people.

In the video, the group's erratic leader described the killings as a victory over Constitution and western influences.
