Boko Haram Video Shows Abubakar Shekau Alive


A video has been released dismissing Nigeria’s military claim that leader of Islamist group Boko Haram is dead.

In the video, Abubakar Shekau says his fighters shot down an air force jet that went missing three weeks ago.

Last week, the military claimed a man posing as the Boko Haram leader in a video has been killed.

Security analysts have questioned the credibility of the military's claim.

A Nigerian journalist, who has good contacts within Boko Haram, said on his Twitter account that he had it "on authority that Shekau is well and alive".
