The video, according to Vanguard, was released on February 17, Tuesday, via the groups twitter handle.
In the video, Shekau who spoke in Hausa language was shown in front of a solid blue background, dressed in black and with an automatic weapon resting to his right.

He also claimed to have carried out the weekend attack in the northeast Nigerian city of Gombe, which the military says was repelled.
