The Boko Haram said once the death sentence was executed, it would extend its attack to judges and courts all over Nigeria.

The group’s spokesman, Abul Qaqa, was quoted to have said in a statement on Monday night: “Should the Nigerian government dare carry out the sentence announced earlier today on Major Hamzat Al-Mustapha (retd), the full-scale attacks will be expanded from security agencies and agents to the judiciary, from police stations to courts and so on. All chief justices, High Court judges and Appeal Court judges should take note. The blood of Al-Mustapha is the blood of the Nigerian masses.”
