Members of a terrorist group, the Islamic State in West Africa Province ISWAP, who abducted over 60 passengers after attacking a Kaduna-bound train March 28, and also claimed responsibility for the recent invasion on the Kuje prison have reportedly declared President Muhammadu Buhari and the Kaduna State governor, Mr. Nasir el-Rufai wanted.
“Look at me, you have sent my pictures everywhere for people to arrest me but I am also announcing that anyone who has seen you (Buhari and El-Rufai) should bring you to me, to kill’, a terrorist who escaped from the Kuje prison said about Buhari and el-Rufai according to a Daily Trust report on Sunday.
Speaking to the President, he said: “We must destroy this country, if you want to follow the right religion, come and do so but we are not relenting. Know that we must abduct you and bring you to this forest and slaughter you, with El-Rufai, the terrorist further said in recent video released by the train abductors.
A terrorist who said he escaped from Kuje prison seen clad in a military outfit and draped in machine gun bullet chain declared reportedly the duo of Buhari and el-Rufai wanted in the video in which he described the abducted train victims as “trash” to have been used as exchange for his freedom.
The terrorists had initially demanded the release of their children and some commanders as condition to free some of the abducted 60 passengers.
They had entered talks with the Federal Government, before the invasion of the Kuje prison.
Another terrorist claimed that even with help from the international community, the Nigerian government would not stop them.
“We are slaves of Allah and we are certain that Allah will help us against you. We want you to know that our focus is not just Nigeria but the entire world, this is nothing to us.”
Pointing at the victims in captivity, he stressed: “These are not the only people we hope to bring here, you should know that you, Buhari, and the one they call el-Rufai and your senators and the Vice President himself, your state legislators and even councilors will come before us, so get ready because you cannot fight God.”
Some of the victims who spoke in the video called on the International community to step in as the government of Nigeria could not rescue them.
They specifically called on the United States of America, Britain, France, Saudi Arabi and the United Nations.
