A new Boko Haram video shows the beheading of a man identified as the pilot of a missing Nigerian Air Force jet and burnt out parts of a plane — the first indication that Nigeria’s homegrown Islamic extremist group has the capability to bring down aircraft.
It also allegedly features Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, a man Nigeria’s military twice has claimed to kill in 2009 and again last year. Two weeks ago the military said they had killed in battle a Shekau lookalike who had posed in the group’s videos.
“Here I am, alive and I will remain alive until the day Allah takes away my breath,” the man says in the Hausa language. “Even if you kill me … it will not stop us imposing Islamic rule … We are still in our Islamic state, reigning and teaching the Koran.”
The United States still has a $7 million ransom on Shekau’s head, despite the death claims.
The video was made available to The Associated Press through the same channels used previously and seems to show the same man claiming to be Shekau.
In the latest video, he says they are prosecuting in accordance with Shariah law in areas under their control. Examples of punishments are shown, including the stoning death of a man apparently accused of adultery; the amputation of the hand of a young man accused of theft; the lashings of a man and what appears to be a girl covered in the hijab.
The video ends with a show of burnt out plane parts in rugged bush.
Two pilots and an Alpha jet have been missing since Sept. 11 when it left the northeastern town of Yola on a bombing mission against Boko Haram.
The video shows a kneeling man in a camouflage vest with his right hand in a sling, with a fighter hovering over him with an axe, which is later used in the beheading.
Speaking in English, the victim identifies himself as a wing commander in the Nigerian Air Force and says he was undertaking a mission in Kauri area of northeast Borno state on Sept. 11.
“We were shot down and our aircraft crashed,” he says, appearing to keep his composure throughout the ordeal. “To this day I don’t know the whereabouts of my second pilot.”
Shekau claims in the video to have brought down 10 military aircraft.
Nigeria’s Defense Headquarters has denied speculation that Boko Haram brought down a helicopter gunship that crashed in August. The pilot died, two crew members survived.

God Bless Nigeria!!

Why?!

I still don't get why victims of beheadings stay still for the camera while their abductors behead them... Gosh they are going to kill you anyways so why make it easy on them? I may not be making sense with this rhetorical question but I am sick and tired of seeing scenes of "willful beheadings"... Yes that's what I call it. You are a military man and get caught by Boko, ofcourse you know what their intention is, why make it easy on them and make them score yet another cheap score in the propaganda war? Gobsmacked!!!!

Have millitary officials confirmed that the man in the so-called video is our Pilot?

May Allah severely punish all those stealing funds meant to buy superior equipment and who sentence our great soldiers, who dared to protest, to death.

If true, dear hero of ours, fallen Pilot, May your gracious soul RIP

Amen my brother,adontiya.

Are there more than one Shekau in boko haram that the Nigeria military is finding it difficult to end boko haram menace to society?!!!

I really don't know what to say.

"May Allah severely punish all those stealing funds meant to buy superior equipment and who sentence our great soldiers, who dared to protest, to death."

Pls save us the curses!!!! Allah does not curse or punish such people, rather he loves and encourages it. You maybe thinking the people doing all these killings are stupid, they are not stupid. They are doing what Allah told them to do. By so doing their claim is that they will die and be giving many virgins in paradise.

Forget my brother they are going to kill him anyway, he should have curse them and make them know they will pay for what they are doing by this they will not release the video but if they do.then the late pilot action will give the remaining troops high moral to deal with this useless insurgents.

Jesus..Their time is up

I am tired of all these senseless killings.

Lawdy Lawd!

God pls forgive us for our wrong doing

RIP great Pilot

Ebi like say you don dey watch oo much Jackie chan or commando movie. That is not home video pls.

Amongst all d pple hu commented on d supposed video/ pix of killing shekau impostor, sum one said, d alive shekau had no hair on his chest but d supposedly dead shekau had a forest of hair on his chest.

It is apparent dat d war is a mind game/ media game, d nigerian military shud stop informin d public 4 now, if de ar not sure of dia facts, de shud hold bak dia story. We need truth not dis mind game BH n NA ar playin on nigerians.

D NA will accost n crush any BH shekau or APCau.

I'm wondering why we are not meting out a fast and efficient justice on the boko haram members in our prisons. If boko haram can mete out justice so fast on this valiant soldier this quick, then we can too.

We shouldn't try the boko haram prisoners in civil courts. No. Rather a special tribunal court created by the military should try them. Our prisons are no longer safe with these boko haram guys within it. It's better some of the hardened ones be sent to their graves via capital punishment to decongest the place.

These untamed cows have started copying ISIS

They will simply torture him and re-shoot another video

Shekau is dead and the remaining diehards are becoming more desperate and gruesome. I hope they will be rounded up sooner than later.

too bad RIP

that should be more like God save Nigeria

Expect the DHQ to tell us another lie. Expect them to tell us that the person beheaded in this video isnt the pilot of the airforce fighter jet that was shot down by the Haramite. Expect them to tell us that the pilot was cloned and he isnt the real person
