“We are still present everywhere we had been before,” the young man said according to AFP.

The clip reportedly shows the insurgents attacking a security checkpoint, seizing weapons, and slitting the throat of a man dressed in a police uniform.

Shekau had also been absent from a video released in June and has not been heard from since Boko Haram announced its allegiance with the Islamic State group in March 2015.
