The leader of the terrorists group, Abubakar Shekau, who the Army said was ‘fatally’ wounded in a recent onslaught, has claimed he is “in a happy state, good health and in safety”
The Boko Haram leader stated this in his new 40-minute video released on You Tube on Sunday, where he mocked the Federal Government and Nigerian Army.
The latest video is coming as President Muhammadu Buhari accepted Boko Haram’s deal to swap the Chibok girls and asked United Nations to join in the negotiation process.
Shekau who spoke in Arabic, Hausa and Kanuri language said, “Oh tyrants, I’m in a happy state, in good health and in safety. You have been spreading in the social media that you injured or killed me.”
The Nigerian military had said that Shekau was fatally (hopelessly) wounded and that other senior members of the insurgent group were hit by an air force strike as they gathered for prayers on Friday August 23.
Before the latest claim of being hopelessly wounded, Nigerian Army had in September 2013 reported him dead, and did same again in September 2014.
Nigerians had thought he was truly dead after the latest claim by the Army, especially when he, Shekau, failed to appear during the Salah video released by the group, where it threatened to capture President Muhammadu Buhari.
