The audio message is believed to be by
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau
Nigerian militant group Boko Haram
has pledged allegiance to Islamic State
(IS), according to an audio statement.
The message, which could not
immediately be verified, was posted
on Boko Haram's Twitter account and
appeared to be by the group's leader.
Boko Haram began a military
campaign to impose Islamic rule in
northern Nigeria in 2009. The conflict
has since spread to neighbouring
states.
It would be the latest in a series of
groups to swear allegiance to IS.
Boko Haram's insurgency has
threatened Nigeria's territorial
integrity and triggered a humanitarian
crisis.
It has carried out frequent bombings
that have left thousands dead and has
also attacked targets in the capital,
Abuja.
IS has forged links with other militant
groups across North Africa and the
Arabian Peninsula.
In November IS leader Abu-Bakr al-
Baghdadi accepted pledges of
allegiance from jihadists in Egypt,
Libya, Algeria, Yemen and Saudi
Arabia.
In January, militants in Afghanistan
and Pakistan announced that they
were forming an IS province.

We pledge allegiance with God, we will win by his grace. It's not by strength our God is a miracle worker.
