By the will of Allah under the leadership of our leader (Shekau) will capture Buhari with our hands.

The group is led by Abubakar Shekau, who in March previous year pledged allegiance to ISIL and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

But Shekau, who Nigerian military authorities said was badly injured in an airstrike against members of the insurgent group some weeks ago was absent in the video.

The group said: “This is our eid prayer from us and by the support of our leader Imam Abubakar Al-Shekau”.

“The Boko Haram fighters were trying to prevent people from praying to mark the feast of sacrifice”, said Laouan Boukar, a resident of Toumour, referring to the important Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha that was on Monday.

The video was released a month after the group released a similar one showing some of the girls captured from Chibok, Borno State in 2014. The speaker said the group will “capture” Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Army declared three persons wanted in connection with the last video.

Nigeria is facing security threats on multiple fronts: Boko Haram Islamists in the northeast, Biafran separatists in the southeast, oil rebels in the south and nomadic herdsmen in the central states.
