The video released by the sect is apparently to counter statements by the Nigerian army that the Islamist insurgent fighters were on a steady retreat, with Nigerian troops seizing a sizeable territory hitherto occupied and controlled by members of the terrorist sect.

Recall that the army has consistently revealed how it has decimated the group and weakened its power to carry out coordinated attacks.

While the group may have succeeded in creating an impression with the video that it is still strong and kicking, a twitter user who goes by the name Janguza has exposed what may be a deceit by the sect.

He identified some irregularities in the new video released by Boko Haram, which clearly looks deceitful.
