Army labels Shekau's video 'desperate, propoganda'

The Nigerian Army has reacted to a recent video released by Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, stating that the commander clearly has a mental issue.

According to Naij, a statement issued by Army Director Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman has revealed that troops consider Shekau to be unstable.

In addition, Usman has called on citizens to ignore the contents of the video because the "facts on the ground speak for themselves."

"We want to assure Nigerians especially the residents of Maiduguri, Kano, Kaduna and Zaria not to panic as we have more than what it takes to defend them and deal decisively with the remnants of the terrorists group.

We would like to reiterate that Boko Haram terrorism as it was known, is gone for good," the statement said.
