Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau is conspicuously missing from a new video released by the group yesterday, Daily Trust reports.
The eight-minute video clip showed scenes of attacks by the sect, the beheading of a policeman and munitions allegedly seized from Nigerian soldiers.
This is the second time Shekau has failed to appear in the group’s video. In June this year the group released a video without Shekau, which fueled speculation that he might have been killed. His last known outing was in March this year when the group released an audio clip.
In the latest video, a man in brown attire and black turban said their fighters are still in the territories they earlier held, asking their followers not to despair. The man spoke in Hausa while another member of the sect stood behind him displaying the group’s flag.
