MUST SEE: Boko Haram Releases Video Of 'Members Observing Eid-l-Kabir Prayer In Niger State’
Aug 5, 2020
A video clip of members of the Shekau-led faction of Boko Haram in Niger state has surfaced online.
No less than 100 persons could be seen observing the Eid -l-Kabir prayer in an undisclosed bushy area.
While the date of the video is unknown, Eid -l-Kabir was celebrated by Muslim faithfuls across the globe on Friday, July 31.
After the prayers, three of the supposed insurgents sent Eid greetings in Hausa, English, and Fulfulde.
“It is we the Jamahatu Ali Sunna li Dawatul Jihad in the location of Niger State. We want to send our Sallah salutation, first of all to our imam, Abu Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Abubakar Shekau,” said one of the men dressed in a Nigerian police uniform.

The insurgent group has held sway in the north-east for over a decade. The claim of its presence in Niger, a north-central state, is a new development and indication that it may be spreading to the region.
