In a nine-minute video in Hausa language, Shekau claimed that 10 wives of Boko Haram members are currently being detained by Nigerian officials, an action he described as “demeaning,” and threatened a round of reprisals on wives of government officials.

 In the video, the leader of Jama’atu Alus Sunna lilda wal Jihad, also known as Boko Haram also threatened violence over a recent anti-Islam video which denigrates Prophet Mohammed and has sparked widespread protests in the Muslim world.
