Speaking through its member who claimed to be the “real Abul Qaqa” via telephone-conference in Maiduguri just a few minutes ago, the group vowed launch sporadic and spontaneous attacks in all cities where their members are being held.

Nigeria’s security agencies have announced that they have the true Abul Qaqa in custody, captured in Kaduna last week, although Boko Haram claims differently.  In any event, the group said in the telephone conference that Kaduna will pay dearly for being the capture ground of ‘Abul Qaqa’.

The speaker said, “We [carried out the attack] and Alhamdullahi, we succeeded and this is just the beginning of our series of attacks. Allah is with us, Nigerians should expect more than what they are seeing.  All the plans of government will failed against us.”

Evidently worried about the capture in Kaduna, he said, “The man they captured was not Abul Qaqa but Dadar, though he used Qaqa at several times.”
