The Boko Haram sect has released a new video, vowing to sustain the battle with the country.
In the 29-minute video believed to have been shot in Sambisa forest, the group showed its men going about their normal business.
Some of them were seen in a local bakery, a few on their farmlands, while others engaged in trading activities.
Items such as foodstuff, books, cement, automobile spare parts were displayed in shops. Armed members of the sect rode on motorcycles, while some were seen operating computers.
An old man who spoke in Kanuri dialect disputed the claim of the military that the group had been defeated. He said the militants have been living well in the forest.
“You can see that we are doing well and living fine. Look at our crops, they are growing well,” he said.
The video showed some fighters in a training session.
One of the trainees, who spoke in Hausa, said, “We are ready to do everything to protect our territory… we won’t allow an inch of our territory to be penetrated by the infidels”.
It is unclear which factions of the groups released the video as Abubakar Shekau and Abu Musab al-Barnawi were not seen.
Recently, a faction led by al-Barnawi released a video of three staff of the University of Maiduguri who were abducted last Tuesday.
At least 48 persons were killed in that attack
