Shekau missing again, as Boko Haram releases new video

Shekau missing again, as Boko Haram
releases new video.

Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau has again failed to
appear in a new video released by the sect on Wednesday
BBC reports.
The video which was posted on BBC’s Twitter handle today,
shows the members of the deadly group pledging allegiance
to Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and
al-Sham (ISIS).
A man who spoke on behalf of the insurgents, however said
that Boko Haram was still under the leadership of Shekau,
who was last seen in February.
He countered the fact that several insurgents had
surrendered to the Nigerian army.
The insurgent also said it was untrue that the army had
released some women and children abducted by the sect.
According to the stand-in Boko Haram spokesperson,
Nigerian troops, having failed on the battlefield, are now
waging the war through the media.
