The Nigerian government has described as cheap propaganda the report that ISIS has appointed a new leader for Boko Haram, saying it is too late to employ such tactics to revive the defeated Nigerian terrorist organisation.
”By the way, don’t believe the cheap propaganda by the global terrorist group ISIS, which has reportedly named a new leader for Boko Haram,” Nigeria’s information minister, Lai Mohammed said at the All Nigerian Conference of Editors 2016 held in Port Harcourt on Thursday, August 4, 2016.
“Our gallant military has put [Boko Haram] on the run and nothing will bring back the terrorists, not even the wishful thinking by ISIS.”
According to reports, ISIS has named Abu Musab Al-Barnawi as the new leader of Boko Haram. The new terrorist leader has issued a statement calling for new attacks on Christians and churches.
