Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Usman says the latest video by terror group Boko Haram has confirmed its earlier suspicion that the purported factional sect leader of the group is mentally ill and unstable.

This is following the release of a video purportedly by by the factional leader of insurgent group, Boko Haram, debunking earlier claims by the military that Shekau was killed or badly wounded in an air strike in September.

“In it, the purported leader of the group in his usual insane manner made all sorts of assertions to the point of threatening various towns, groups and individuals.

“He also tried albeit failingly to deny the air raid by the Nigerian Air Force in which he was wounded.

“The video has shown beyond all reasonable doubt the earlier suspicion that the purported factional terrorists group leader is mentally sick and unstable.

“The ranting is also another sign that the end is near for him, which is part of the signs of all wicked people,” Colonel Usman said in a statement on Sunday.
