This were his words:
Below is the full text of the statement: “We are really surprised with the way and manner security agencies are misleading President Goodluck Jonathan by giving him false information on our confrontation with them. They always conceal the truth about the damages we are inflicting on them and how they fail to tame us.
“Take, for example, the attack they launched on our brethren in Ja’in area in Kano State weeks back. The fact is that only three men were inside the house together with their wives and then their weapons. Unfortunately, the soldiers stormed the area with over 40 vehicles, including armoured tanks and surrounded the house in the dead of the night.”
“There was endless gun duel between our men and the soldiers but none of our men was killed or arrested. They only succeeded in arresting women because our warriors have escaped after killing many security operatives. Residents of the area can attest to this fact. The people in the area are also aware of the fact that the soldiers killed a resident of the area.
“However, the military later turned out and said they succeeded in killing one of our members.“The fact is if troops would surround our people at night but could not succeed in subduing them even while asleep, how possible is it that they killed four members of our Supreme Council (Shura) in their latest attack (as they claimed). Is it really true that our leaders were holding meeting? Is it possible for just four members of the high command to sit and take decision? Can members of the high command watch over a foreign hostage whose corpse was found in the area?”
“One thing that is obvious is that the soldiers had only succeeded in killing over 10 innocent people in the neighbourhood. We challenge journalists to go the area and verify our claims whether our warriors have killed soldiers during the confrontation or not. Why are they (soldiers) hiding away their victims from the press? The media should also verify whether the military had extra judicially killed civilians or not.
“We are carefully watching what everybody is saying about us…let everybody, including individuals and groups continue saying whatever they want to say. The obvious fact is that as soon as we complete our preparations and start launching attacks, nobody should persuade us to stop.“This is a special warning to media houses and journalists who are now fond of exaggeration and giving prominence to stories given to them by our enemies even when such press releases and stories given to them are not true.
“It is so unfortunate that the media carries such report word by word without removing or altering anything. But when we issue statements and press releases, the media always look the other way, pretending as if they didn’t get the message.
“More worrisome, perhaps, is that even when the media carries the report, they distort what we said just because they want to please the ego of our enemies.“Henceforth, nobody should talk to us when we attack any media organisation. The least we expect is that if any media organisation is not willing to give us true and fair representation, it is better not to report at all not matter what is said or who said it on the side of the government. Any media that refused to adhere to this wise counsel should have itself to blame.
GOD SAVE NAIJA OHHHHHH
