Deadly terrorist group Boko Haram has just released a video, with militants re-affirming their allegiance to the Islamic State group and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The unidentified speaker in the footage asserted that Boko Haram, also known as IS West Africa Province, was still under the leadership of Abubakar Shekau, who hasn’t appeared in a video since February.
He also denied that the military had rescued a number of women and children abducted by Boko Haram, saying the security forces had failed on the battled front and were now resorting to a media campaign to rubbish the insurgents. The violent campaign by the group would not be derailed, he said.
