LAGOS, March 9, 2012 (CISA) -A spokesman for the Islamic militant group Boko Haram in Nigeria has said that they are planning to launch a number of attacks to eradicate Christians from northern Nigeria.
The spokesman told Bikyamasr.com on Sunday that they are planning a “war” on Christians in the next few weeks.
He said, without giving specific details, “we will create so much effort to end the Christian presence in our push to have a proper Islamic state that the Christians won’t be able to stay.”
The spokesman also said the government “cannot be prepared for what is to come.”
Boko Haram have taken responsibility for a number of bomb attacks on Christian churches across the country since a Christmas Day bombing left dozens of people killed.
The government has promised to crackdown on the group and has deployed military units across the country in an attempt to curtail the Islamic group’s activities, arresting and killing a number of members in recent weeks.
Last week on Friday, the group reportedly killed three of its own members late on Friday in the north-eastern state of Maiduguri, police and military sources confirmed.
“This was part of our planning and it is unfortunate,” said the spokesman.
The explosion in the Kaleri suburb of the northern city on Friday destroyed a house and dismembered the three Islamist sect members, Lieutenant Colonel Hassan Mohammed of the special military unit in Maiduguri said.
The violence by the militant group has since mid-2009 claimed more than 1,000 lives, including more than 300 this year alone, according to rights groups.
