Boko Haram Allegedly Heading to South Africa to Bomb Them For Killing Nigerians
The dreaded Boko Haram insurgents has been spotted in Zimbabwe in
transit to South Africa, according to reports by UK-based news outlet
ZimEye, citing Zimbabwe’s national intelligence agency.
According to the Zimbabwean news website, the Central Intelligence
Organisation (CIO) issued an intelligence report, warning that the
Islamist militant group is in Zimbabwe en route to neighbouring South
Africa.
ZimEye added that the South African intelligence service has alerted
police officers in Zimbabwe’s Matebeleland region about Boko Haram’s
intentions to infiltrate South Africa.
Other Zimbabwean media outlets have picked up the story. One outlet,
Harare24, claims, “Officers were yesterday called for duty at around 9pm
and are now temporarily stationed at selected police stations where
they camp.”
Police spokespersons have not responded to a request for clarification on the
original report, and official statements from the government of Zimbabwe
regarding Boko Haram’s potential presence in Zimbabwe do not appear to exist.
The Matabeleland region borders South Africa, where the jihadist group may seek
to “carry out revenge attacks for the ill-treatment of several Nigerian
nationals in the ongoing xenophobic attacks” that have left seven people dead
and displaced thousands more from their homes.
Boko Haram released propaganda this month threatening to kill South Africans in
retribution for the wave of xenophobic violence affecting Nigerians and others
in that nation, though it was believed that Boko Haram members would find and
kill South Africans in the areas where they operate: Northeast Nigeria, Chad
and Cameroon.
Boko Haram reportedly released a video nearly two weeks ago urging South Africa
to end the xenophobic attacks taking place within its borders.
Boko Haram warned that it would execute all South Africans in Nigeria, Chad,
Niger, and other surrounding countries if the government of South Africa failed
to contain the situation.
