Boko Haram has issued yet another warning that it may begin kidnapping of family members of government officials and security agents..Abu Qaqa, spokesman of the group was quoted on Monday as having said:"We may consider abducting family members of government and security agents’’if security agents continue with what he said was the arrest of the sect’s members.

The group  issued this fresh threat after condemning  the arrest of their members in Kano and most recently in Sokoto by the SSS. "We are not saying that our members caught in active combat should be spared but most of those arrested so far are our brothers that have never participated in the ongoing armed  struggle between our group and the Nigerian State. These people are denied the right to go about their daily business," said Qaqa

"We may consider abducting family members of government and security agents, if this continues. We may also consider attacking schools where their children attend if Mosques and Qur'anic schools attended by Muslim children in the southern part of the country are bombed again" said Qaqa who urged Nigeria Defence Forces to respect the rules of engagement.
