Shekau, Factional Boko Haram Leader, Resurfaces In New Video


Recall the Nigerian army on August 23 made public that Shekau had been seriously wounded in the shoulder in an air raid in which several commanders were taken out.

There seems to be a twist to this report as the embattled leader of jihadist group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has resurfaced in a video posted online Sunday, where he vehemtly debunked the claims that he had been badly hit by the Nigerian army.

 In his words:

 “You have been spreading in the social media that you injured or killed me,” Shekau said in the 40-minute video released on YouTube and dated September 25.

 “Oh tyrants, I’m in a happy state, in good health and in safety.”

Nigerian soldiers, with the support of regional troops, have recaptured swathes of territory lost to the jihadists since they launched a military campaign in February 2014.
