The Boko Haram leader dismissed the government's claim that the group is defeated.
Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has released a video message on Tuesday, December 2, 2017, claiming several attacks carried out by the terrorist group over the festive period.
In his first video message in months, Shekau dismissed the government's insistence that the group is defeated, claiming that security agencies can do nothing to harm the group's operations.
The leader of Boko Haram's biggest faction spoke in Hausa language through the 31-minute duration of the video where he claimed attacks in Maiduguri, Gamboru and Damboa.
He said, "We are in good health and nothing has happened to us. Nigerian troops, police and those creating mischief against us can't do anything against us, and you will gain nothing.
"We carried out the attacks in Maiduguri, in Gamboru, in Damboa. We carried out all these attacks."
