Abubakar Shekau

The Defence Headquarters, DHQ, has described the purported new video released by leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau as fake.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the DHQ urged Nigerians not to believe the video clips because it “could be another ploy or antics of the terrorists to keep our innocent citizen off their current security alertness to maximize casualties if attacked.”

The DHQ said the “Nigerian Armed Forces are now determined more than ever before to end this ugly trend.”
