"It is not true that all the attackers were killed in Maiduguri on that fateful night. It is not true that we were overcome during the attack. The battle in Maiduguri was successful," he says in the video.
Shekau, who was flanked (in the clip) by armed militants in front of armored tanks and trucks mounted with anti-aircraft machine guns, assured that the sect will not relent in its fight.
He also ruled out the possibility dialogue, adding that their kids and grandchildren will continue the war from where they stop.
