Boko Haram Sends Death Threats To THISDAY Reporter Adeola Akinremi.

Alleged members of the Boko Haram sect have threatened in an email, to kill Adeola Akinremi, Features Editor of This Day Newspaper.


The death threat came after the journalist wrote a piece titled, ‘Why Boko Haram don’t deserve our amnesty’.

Akinremi wrote the article after his return from Adamawa state, where he investigated killings by the insurgents and the plight of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

In reaction, a cold threatening email signed by one Abu Musab Abul-Barnawi, believed to have been sent by Boko Haram and published by The Cable reads:

“We have seen your hand against us . Inshallah you will die like other infidels that we captured,”

“You have been joining our enemies. You are made yourself their mouth [sic] but we will get you insha Allah.

This is a holy mission for Allah, so stop writing against us.

“You’re going too Michika calling yourself a brave journalist, but you’re a coward.


We will get you. Its your government that talks amnesty, we are not looking for amnesty.

Allah is with us. You’re now a walking dead and a prey to the Lions of Islam from the bullet of a passing car or a nearby rooftop.

“We are not asking you to repent, because of your error, we will use your blood to send warning to others.

Those people from America and Europe that are using you against our mission will soon know the truth.

Our wounded fighters will never give up. they will return to fight for Allah to get their reward. Your soldier will soon know the truth.”

These threat follows a series of killings by the sect involving journalists.

It will be recalled that in April 2012, This Day was attacked by Boko Haram.

The attack involved  simultaneous bombing of its Abuja and Kaduna offices.
