The Bbc hausa service first broke the news yesterday that they had a new video suggesting that Boko Haram's leader Shekau was still alive.
The BBC hausa service is yet to provide a link for the said video. Especially when it became obvious that the said video was actually an audio message.

Is BBC (or its Hausa service staff) being recruited by Boko Haram to help discredit the JTF and the Nigerian govt's war against terror?

Nah! They are simply the messenger. Remember that it was the same BBC World Service that broadcast an interview with President Yar'Adua.

They didn't validate the video. They simply reported its existence (and that's their job as journalists/broadcasters).

abeg bro, they ain't BH agents just dat they reach out to millions of listeners in dat dialect, since most hausas would prefer listening to bbc hausa even when very educated( prof) than listen to any other foreign outcast called station. d average hausa man all ova d world buys a transistor radio just to get use to hausa version.
