According to Shekau in the video, “What happened in Katsina was done to promote Islam and discourage un-Islamic practices as Western education is not the type of education permitted by Allah and his Holy Prophet.
The school is not teaching what Allah and his Holy Prophet commanded. They are rather destroying Islam.”
Shekau added that though their actions may be elusive, “Allah the Lord of the skies and earth knows whatever is hidden. May Allah promote Islam. May we die as Muslims. In a nutshell, we are behind what happened in Katsina,”
