The Nigerian army has responded to the threat issued by Boko Haram terrorists to capture and kill President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a video released by the group loyal to Abubakar Shekau, Boko Haram said its members are still many and stay resilient despite the Nigerian army operation that killed scores of its foot soldiers and recaptured Nigerian territory under its control.
Part of their statement read: “This is our eid prayer from us and by the support of our leader Imam Abubakar Al-Shekau. We are extending our greetings to our people and fighters.

“Message to the infidels and the leader of the entire infidels who is President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari, that he should know we are very strong and doing very good.
“By the will of Allah under the leadership of our leader will capture Buhari with our hands. “My last message is to you Buratai, Kukasheka and the rest of the infidels.
“You should know that this is a brand new video which we recorded today the 12th of September 2016, using the infidel’s calendar.
“It is a new video, not an old one. It is a brand new video; (we hear) you are saying you will finish us with your fighter jets.
“By the grace of God, you will see what we will do to you.
However, Brig. Gen. Rabe Abubakar who is the director of defence information said the threat was an empty one as the terrorist did not have the power to attack the president.
He said: “We don’t have any comment. We know what we have done, and what we are planning to do. The only place they have agenda for now is the social media.
“The only ground the Boko Haram can go to hide and pretend to be alive is the social media because it is everybody’s home.

“The so-called video is an attempt by the remnants to remind us that there were once some Boko Haram elements.
“The issue of the threat to capture PMB is a complete joke and a dream of the century. Therefore, the entire clip should be ignored as everybody is appreciative of our feat against Boko Haram.
“It is not just an empty threat; it is a threat that has no substance at all. It is a senseless threat from their imagination. Nigeria should simply ignore it.”
