The footage – narrated in Hausa – which is said to have been shot somewhere in Borno State, northeast Nigeria, showed suspected terrorists praying on what the narrator said was an Eid ground on Sallah day (Monday).

In the video, which was posted on YouTube on Tuesday, the group, which said it still remained a force to be reckoned with, called Buhari an infidel and threatened to capture him.

“This is our eid prayer from us and by the support of our leader Imam Abubakar Al-Shekau. We are extending our greetings to our people and fighters.

“Message to the infidels and the leader of the entire infidels (kafir) who is the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, that he should know we are very strong and doing very good.

“By the will of Allah under the leadership of our leader (Shekau) will capture Buhari with our hands,” the group said.
