Military Debunks Boko Haram Claims of Islamic State in North-East




The Nigerian Military debunked the claim by the leader of Boko Haram terrorist group, Abubakar Shekau in a new video  that some of the North East towns seized in their recent offensive earlier this month has been placed under an Islamic caliphate. The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) in its twitter handle @DefenceInfoNG, stated that this move, which is similar to the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq (ISIS) is false, saying "the claim is empty".The Defence authorities assured that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Nigerian state is still intact. The brief statement read: Any group of terrorists laying claim to any portion of the country will not be allowed to get away with the expression of delusion and crime.
