As the attacks by the Boko Haram increased, so did the dread of Shekau. Soon he became an international figure appearing on cable stations to warn the world of further attacks. He also posted messages on YouTube with the latest one showing the abducted Bama Girls on hijab reciting some verses of the Koran even though the majority of the abducted girls were Christians.
“I captured your girls,” he stated in Hausa laughing mirthlessly. He went on to warn the world to beware of further attacks never ceasing to run down Western education, Christianity, the United Nation and western countries. It was clear to the world he was a complete mad man who needed to be speedily stopped.
