Leaders of the Jama’atu Ahliss-Sunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, popularly known as Boko Haram, have told Daily Trust in an interview that the dialogue being offered to them will not be possible under atmosphere of the threats of use of force by security agencies.

Spokesman for the group Abu Zaid said, “A true believer will not allow himself to be attacked twice.”

The interview was conducted by phone and email in Hausa language. A Daily Trust reporter who has been reporting the activities of the group gave the questions by phone to Abu Zaid, who has been speaking on behalf of the sect.

The group has claimed responsibility for last week’s deadly bomb attack on the police headquarters in Abuja and persistent gun raids in Maiduguri, Borno State, prompting calls for dialogue between the government and its leaders.

Responding to these calls, Abu Zaid said, “We have been signing agreement with them (government) but they have been reneging and now they want us to surrender our arms whereas they are terrorizing Islam and Muslims just like what happened two years ago.

“The Inspector General of Police recently said that he will deal with us within two weeks because he believes he controls our lives. And look at how the governor of Borno State (Kashim Shettima) donated 10 armour personnel carriers to the police while the Nigerian President (Goodluck Jonathan) directed that more soldiers and mobile police be deployed to attack us. Is this move aimed at achieving a dialogue?”

He added: “I think they are equipping themselves more and they want us to surrender our arms. Despite these contradictions, they (authorities) are telling the public that they want to engage us in dialogue. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him said a believer should not allow himself to be attacked twice in one place.”

He acknowledged that Islam encourages dialogue when certain conditions are met. “It is mandatory for Islam to have a sovereign land where Sharia is being practiced in the strict sense so that the dialogue will be between the Islamic country and the country of the unbelievers,” he said.

He said the sect members will not also lay down their arms even as he claimed responsibility of the attacks launched in parts of the North and Abuja.

“Some unpatriotic scholars gave them misleading justification on the need to attack us and the Federal Government under Umaru Yar’adua gave the open directive to attack Muslims which led to the destruction of their mosque and desecration of the Holy Qur’an as well as ill treatment of innocent women and children.

“We want people to know that the Federal Government fought us and therefore, by the grace of Allah, we would continue fighting until we succeed or die in the process,” he said.

Abu Zaid said the sect members would continue to trail former governors of Borno and Gombe states as well as the Bauchi State governor until they apologise for approving attacks on the Boko Haram sect.

“We would not relent in our efforts of searching for them until they come out publicly and apologize. They must also distance themselves from this illegal democracy and give unalloyed support towards entrenching Sharia system,” he said.

EzeUche!:

The only dialogue that needs to be given to them is through the AK-47. Do not negotiate with terrorist.

Message for southern muslims:
To the northern muslims, you are all infidels. That is why you can never be head of islam in Nigeria
Yet, you dey fall mugu for their antics
I was in Kano in 2001 when I visited a friend serving there
Suddenly riot broke out
Yoruba muslims, Yoruba christians, Igbos and other southern and northern christians were killed
They say you live peaceably with christians in your midst, hence you are not good muslims
They say you southern muslims drink beer and patronize asha-wos, like christians do, so you are for those reasons, not true muslims.
But please take a trip to a place called Trailer Park along the Port Harcourt-Onne Highway in River State. They come from the North to load fertilizers from NAFCON and petroleum products from the nearby NNPC. But you will see these northern muslims in hundreds who empty beer bottle in their washing kettles used for ablution and drink from it, in deceit of the unwary. You will find them sleeping with asha-wos on the back of their trailers at night.
Ask them, they will tell you this is southern nigeria, sharia will not catch them here. They then go back north and pretend all is well and continue with their holier-than-thou attitude.
Did Abacha not die atop Indian asha-wos, as we hear? Yet, to a northern muslim, Abacha is more important than even the holiest of southern muslims.

I pity all these southern muslims who do not want to see beyond their noses.
Sharia bank? Hm!! They go throw bomb inside the banking hall. Guess who the most bankers in Nigeria and thus the potential victims would be
They go use your savings buy bomb wey dey go use kill you.
The emphasis on islamic banking is a red flag that should not be ignored
We have had Habib Bank etc; no one cared, because the name does not suggest anything of security interest
From the grapevine, one of the conditions given by the Mullahs in the Middle East to pump in cash is that the name must be ISLAMIC BANK to stamp in the IOC angle to it.

Even the deceit by Sanusi in mentioning that an Igbo man is a shareholder of his sharia bank is lost on so many.
Ask him why he specifically singled out that Igbo man, among 10-15 other shareholders.

Hold your ears and listen. A word is enough for the wise.

Unfeasible demands.
Might as well go on and ask for a fu-cking unicorn.
