Boko Haram Leader Shekau Dares Obama, Says Obama Is No Match For Him
Despite being declared a global terrorist and a $7million reward placed on him by the United States (US), Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau is still talking tough.
And this is coming after in yet another bizarre occurrence, suspected members of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram gunned down 44 people praying in a mosque in Borno State last Sunday.
In a new video obtained by Agence France Presse (AFP), Shekau dared US President Barack Obama, French President Francois Hollande and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to come for him, saying: “They are no match for me.”
Speaking in Hausa language, Shekau said:
You soldiers have claimed that you are powerful, that we have been defeated, that we are mad people. But how can a mad man successfully coordinate recent attacks in Gamboru, in Malam Fatori, slaughter people in Biu, kill in Gwoza and in Bama, where soldiers fled under our heavy fire power?
We have killed countless soldiers and we are going to kill more. We can now comfortably confront the United States of America.You have not killed Shekau.I’m challenging Obama,” Shekau continued in the video. He also voiced similar challenges to French President Francois Hollande and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“They are no match for me,” he proclaimed.
Shekau had one time urged like-minded Islamists in countries, such as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq to support the sect’s war towards enthroning an Islamic state in Nigeria.

Moscow 2013: Okagbare Blessing finishes 6th in 100m
Okagabare |
Hopes of having Nigeria’s sprint sensation, Blessing Okagbare, make it to the podium in the women’s 100m event was dashed on Monday evening as she could only manage a disappointing 6th place finish after posting a time of 11.04seconds in the final.
The 100m event was won by Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who finished in a world leading time of 10.71secs.
Fraser-Pryce produced an amazing display
to complete a Jamaican 100m double. The 26-year-old set a world leading
time of 10.71secs for a commanding win which followed hot on the heels
of compatriot Usain Bolt, who took the men’s 100m title on Sunday.
It was also a similar scenario at the
London Olympics when Okagabare showed tremendous form going to the final
of the 100m event, only to falter when it mattered most.
Okagbare, who won a silver medal in the
women’s long jump event on Sunday to end Nigeria’s 14-year wait for a
medal in the world championships, began the race on a slow note and
never recovered.
Nigeria will now turn her attention to
the 200m, where Okagbare is also competing, and the 4x100m relays, where
many believe there is a slim chance of Nigeria winning a medal.
Meanwhile, Africa took consolation in
Ivorian, Murielle Ahoure, who came second in 10.93secs to give Ivory
Coast its first world championships medal while defending world
champion, Carmelita Jeter of the US, was third in 10.94.
From the moment Fraser-Pryce shot out of
the blocks, there was only going to be one winner and her rivals were
left watching the soles of her bright pink spikes and matching hair
colours as she powered to the finish line.
