daben1: Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has reappeared in a new video, dismissing the military claims of his death.
He said the militants had implemented strict Islamic law in captured towns.
He said in the video: “Here I am, alive. I will only die the day Allah takes my breath.”
“We are running our Islamic caliphate” and administering strict sharia punishments.”
“Nothing will kill me until my days are over. I’m still alive. Some people asked you if Shekau has two souls. No, I have one soul, by Allah.
“It is a propaganda that is prevalent. I have one soul. I’m an Islamic student.
“I’m the Islamic student whose seminary you burnt… I’m not dead.”
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.
There was no indication of where or when the video was shot.
The heavily bearded Shekau, who appeared to be the same as those in previous clips, said the military’s claim that he was dead was a propaganda.
There have been two previous claims by Nigeria’s security forces that Shekau was dead – once in 2009 during unrest in Maiduguri – and again in 2013.
Following each previous claim, Boko Haram has issued denials in video messages.
The military said last week that Shekau was dead and that a man who had been posing as the group’s leader in the videos had been killed after fighting with troops in the far northeast.
Security analysts and the United States had however questioned the credibility of the claim by the Nigerian military.
The group also claimed to have shot down a Nigerian air force jet that went missing nearly three weeks ago.
The military authorities has stated that the jet was missing.

lonelydora: @Op, you are a Boko haram sympathizer. Shekau both 1st and 2nd are all dead. Kudos to our gallant men. They will keep killing any available Shekau as long as they keep assuming that name.
