Abu Musad Al-Barnawi, factional leader of Boko Haram, has said the Abubakar Shekau-led faction of the insurgent group will be defeated by the Nigerian military.
Al-Barnawi made the prediction in a video uploaded to YouTube.
He said Shekau had gone against the objectives of the insurgent group.
“Muhammad Yusuf and the rest of the Mujahiddeen (Commanders), have sacrificed their lives leaving people like Shakau who violent quotes of the Holy Qur’an and refused to take advice or other people opinions,” he said in the video.

“How can you succeed against the Nigerian government (infidel), when indiscriminately attack innocent people, ordinary Muslims without sufficient grounding. How can you can you succeed when you kill orphans?
“Apart from the wanton killing and destruction of human lives, Abubakar Shakau also sees anyone who doesn’t agree with his ideology as Kufur which literary means an act of infidelity.”
He said Boko Haram was created by Muhammad Yusuf for the purpose of propagating good teachings and practice of Islam but has now become an avenue for perpetrating all forms of criminality.

Al-Barnawi is the son of Yusuf.
A year ago, the Islamic State (IS), an affiliate of Boko Haram, named him as the new leader of the terrorist sect.

These are what we Americans call Islamic Terrorists and the Buhari administration is loosing focus on destroying this evil. I hope they understand that it is easy to paint other decent Nigerian Muslims as terrorists if this government is seen as accommodating this evil called Bokoharam and their Northern supporters.
