The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the coordinated terror attacks that killed at least 129 people in Paris on November 13, Friday.
The terror group also mentioned Nigeria in an online statement it issued.
The terrorists said eight militants wearing explosive belts and armed with machine guns attacked specific targets in the French capital.
The message, posted on ISIS’ blog, according to a tweet by TRACterrorisim.org, reads: “O people crusaders: when you deploy forces in order to control the city Saladin and dreaming of Mosul, Sinjar, Haul, Tikrit or Huwaijah or dreaming Mayadin or Jarablus or Karmah or Tel Abyad or Al Qaim or Darnah or dream to reclaim the wilderness in the interior Nigeria or master ‘Asy’asy Sinai desert sand, then surel, WE just want ROME and paris Insyallah before before ANDALUSIA (UKK).”

President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the government and people of France over attacks and has called on world leaders to come together to confront terrorism.
On 7 March, the leader of the deadly Boko Haram sect, Nigerian terrorist group, Abubakar Shekau, announced his allegiance to the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
