LAGOS SEPTEMBER 29TH (URHOBOTODAY)-Members of Islamist insurgent group, Boko Haram, apparently gathered in an open field to celebrate Sallah, a Muslim feast that was marked last Thursday, according to a video released by the sect.
However, SaharaReporters wo made the report could not confirm the date the video was shot, as only screenshots of the video were made available to us by a citizen reporter.
In the video, sect members can be seen calmly saying Eid prayers in the company of their families, with a rifle standing upside down.
The video images may be part of the sect’s efforts to counter statements by the Nigerian army that the Islamist insurgent fighters were on a steady retreat, with Nigerian troops seizing a sizeable territory hitherto occupied and controlled by members of the terrorist sect.
