Eccentric Leader of Boko Haram, the Nigeria's home-bred terrorists organisation, Mr Abubakar Shekau has in a video released to journalists today claimed responsibility for the recent blast in Abuja (June 25) as swell as the petrol fuel tanker blast near a depot in Lagos.
Mr Shekau released the video today.
"I ordered (the bomber) who went and detonated the bomb in filthy Abuja that killed at least 22 people".

The Abuja blast killed 22 persons and injured scores of others.
Shekau who appeared in the video armed with an assault rifle and standing in front of a Personnel Armoured Carrier, that has desert camouflage painting like the ones used by the Nigeria Army, spoke with sarcasm, as he leered all through his speech delivered in both Hausa and Arabic. Two men in hoods stood by his side.
The Boko Haram leader said he is in support to the efforts of Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi Al-Husseini Al-Qurashi who is now named the Caliph—head of state and theocratic absolute monarch of the self-proclaimed Islamic State located in western Iraq and north-eastern Syria. He is the former leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), alternatively translated as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Link to the video would be made available on this blog later.
