FG KNOWS US – BOKO HARAM ‘COMMANDER’

A man who claimed to be the second in-command commander of
Jama’atu Ahlis Sunnah Ladda’awatih wal-Jihad, also known as Boko Haram, Mohammed
Marwana, has denied claims the federal government’s claim that there have been
several meeting between the group and the government

Marwana, who spoke to the Hausa Service of the Voice of America
(VOA) in a telephone interview, also listed towns where some sect members were
allegedly ambushed and killed, under the guise of dialogue, by security
operatives.

Marwana was responding to a report on a meeting that took place
in Bauchi on the need to resolve the Boko Haram insurgency through dialogue.

“We have been approached for dialogue, not once, twice, but
several times, and the government is only deceiving itself and not us,” he
said.

“They kept on saying they don’t know us and they don’t know how
to reach us, but it is a lie. we have talked to their agents face to face.

“And they confirmed that, but because of their deceit and
penchant for worldly things, they are denying it. There is no way these antics
will help them.

“You should know that we only attack their religious belief when
they touched us. Before they touched us, who have we touched in this country?

“We have no problem with journalists, except if they
deliberately skewed information related to us.”
