Last month it was reported that Nigeria soldiers killed Boko Haram terrorist group leader Abubakar Shekau during a gun battle. From a new video obtained by AFP on Thursday, it shows that Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau is still alive.
The new 36-minute video showed Shekau, in combat fatigues and black rubber boots, standing on the back of a pick-up truck and firing an anti-aircraft gun into the air. Standing in front of three camouflaged vans and flanked by four heavily armed, masked fighters, he then speaks for 16 minutes in Arabic and the Hausa language.
