“Dialogue with President Goodluck Jonathan has collapsed,” because of the statements made by the inspector general of police and governor of Borno State,” the group said.
It said it was angered by the police chief, Hafiz Ringim’s declaration that “the days of Boko Haram are numbered.
“Very soon, we will wage jihad...We want to make it known that our jihadists have arrived in Nigeria from Somalia where they received real training on warfare from our brethren who made that country ungovernable...,” said the group in a handwritten statement.
“This time round, our attacks will be fiercer and wider than they have been,” it said, adding it would target all northern states and the country’s capital Abuja. The statement in Hausa, a widely spoken language in the North, was anonymously delivered to journalists in the North-eastern city of Maiduguri, capital of Borno State, where the attacks were concentrated.
The sect admitted links with a foreign Islamist group connected to Al-Qaeda, although security experts had already speculated that it had established ties with Islamists in North Africa. The statement purportedly emanated from “Jama’atu Ahlis-sunnah lidda’ati wal Jihad,” another name the sect calls itself.
Boko Haram had on Monday issued a statement setting conditions for ceasefire and dialogue with the government, which included the strict application of Sharia Law in the 12 predominantly Muslim states in the North.
