Man purporting to be Boko Haram leader taunts Nigerian military in video

BAUCHI -- The purported leader of Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram Abubakar Shekau appeared in a video posted on social media on Sunday in which he rejected statements by the country's military that he had been seriously wounded.

 

In recent years, the Nigerian military has said it has killed or critically wounded Shekau on multiple occasions, often swiftly followed by video denials by someone who says he is Shekau. Last month Nigeria's air force said it had killed senior Boko Haram members and that Shekau had been wounded.
