We have no talks with FG – Boko Haram – Says no peace until Sharia replaces constitution’

It said the so-called crave for the return of peace will remain an illusion
until government sets aside constitutional governance and adopt Sharia and holy
Quran as instruments of governance in the country.

The Spokesman of the Sect,
Abul Qaqa, who made this known in an emailed statement had also warned that
media houses who don’t  verify information especially on issues of
dialogue may face attacks from them.  .

Qaqa said their group deputy
leader called  Abu-Muhammad whom some media reports and government claimed
spoke on their behalf over the dialogue in Saudi Arabia was not true.
The full text of the statement reads:

‘In the name of Allah, the
most Beneficient, the most Merciful. All Praises and thanks be unto Allah,
blessings and acceptance by unto his prophet Muhammad (S.AW.)

This is another important
message from the Jama’atu Ahlissunnah Lidda’awati Wal-Jihad.
As a result of what we are seeing being published by some media houses that
this group of ours is in some dialogue with the government of Nigeria, we are
issuing a serious warning on three different Sectors:

1. Media Houses:- If it could
be recalled, we had once published the names of media house that are on our
watch list for possible attack after that of the Thisday, for not being fair to
us in their publications and also for poke nosing and interfering in our
affairs and how we carry on with our religious strife.

Just like everyone can
testify, Imam Abu-Muhammad Abubakar Bin Muhammad Shekau is the leader and
commander of this movement, and recently we have released a video message of
his in which the Imam took time to explain to the world on the stand of
this  our movement on the issue of going into dialogue with government.

But some media houses, as a
result of their bias motives they had against us, chose not to relay the
message of our Commander’s video as expected, instead they went and cook up
another fake story that we have been in some talks with the federal government
of Nigeria in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We were even surprise to hear that
one Abu-Muhammed who claim to be the deputy of Imam Shekau.

We all know that all these
lies had been their plot to misinform people in this part of the world in
misunderstanding the essence of this Jihad that we are promoting; but by the
permission of Allah, they will not succeed. And they should understand that on
our side there is no difference between the person that is fighting with arms
and the one that is fighting us with with the tongue of pen.

3. We have heard much about
those who go about using our names in order to collect huge sums of money from
government. We are still warning these people that they should fear Allah and
stop doing that even before Allah deliver them to the hands of His soldiers! We
have no intention of going into dialogue in which government had once showed us
its treachery by deceiving us to arresting our Abu-Dardaa. Also on that of Dr.
Ibrahim Datti,  which we had not even commenced any dialogue except some
preliminary talks through a journalist that we trusted, whose name is Ahmad
Salkida, but they went to say we have dialogued with government.

And since after that attempt
at dialogue was aborted, there has not been any other move for dialogue that we
agreed on till date. For these reasons, we are calling on all these kind of
people especially elderly persons like Dr. Ibrahim Datti, to desist going into
any form of dialogue using our name, lest they risk losing the
regard they have as elders

3. We are also telling the
Federal Government of Nigeria to understand that if it is not ready to embrace
Sharia, and Holy Quran as its only guiding book from which laws of the land is
being executed, and also do away with the constitution as well as other western
beliefs from this land called Nigeria, then government should stop dreaming for
the return of peace; and there will be no day our warriors will stop waging war
until all these conditions.
