Boko Haram: We Gave Advance Warning of Kaduna Attacks

The Boko Haram sect says that it previously issued warnings of its intention to attack Kaduna over issues relating to the arrest and ‘intimidation’ of their members in Kaduna. The warnings were sent to the homes of traditional rulers in the state, and also delivered to government officials in Kaduna. Some of the communities affected include Ungwan Mua’zu, Rigasa, Ungwan Rimi, Nasarawa and Hayin Danbushiya, where the warnings were allegedly posted publicly.
According to the notice, the sect will relentlessly attack Kaduna and bring the state to its knees until their members are freed.

Part of the warning reads: “If you don’t set free our members, you will regret what will follow suit. We don’t know what they did that warrants your actions against their work for Allah. We will continue attacking you and your government, and we knew how to get you, enemies of Allah.”
The warning had several Quran quotations.
Boko Haram has set off several explosions in Kaduna State in the past few months, the last one being last Thursday in the city of Kaduna when a suicide bomber drove into the office of ThisDay. It carried out a simultaneous attack on newspaper’s offices Jabi, Abuja.
