Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau released a video yesterday claiming last week’s attacks in Benisheikh and a similar recent attack in Monguno Town in Borno state. In August, Nigerian authorities had said Shekau was killed in a shootout with soldiers. Suspected Boko Haram gunmen shot and killed a pastor and his two children, then set fire to his church, in Dorawa in Yobe state.
