Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau released a video claiming the April 14 attack in the capital city of Abuja that killed over 75 people; he did not mention the 85 missing schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram earlier this week. President Jonathan sharply denounced Adamawa state governor Murtala Nyak for declaring to other northern governors that Jonathan was carrying out a genocide in their states and that Boko Haram was a "phantom organization" with no real existence. Police arrested Abdulkarim Sallah in Ogun state on suspicion of terrorist recruiting; he had passport photos of over 1,000 young boys. The government is withholding payment on a federal CCTV security system that does not work.
