BREAKING News: ISIS Names New Boko Haram Leader

Posted by Odinaka on Wed 03rd Aug, 2016 - tori.ng

The Islamic State, better known as ISIS, has announced a new leader for the insurgent group, Boko Haram.

According to an exclusive report by BBC Africa, the world's most popular terrorist group, Islamic State, better known as ISIS, has announced a new leader for the Nigerian insurgent group, Boko Haram.

In the latest issue of an ISIS magazine, the former spokesman for Boko Haram, Abu Musab al-Barnawi, has been named as the new leader replacing Abubakar Shekau.

Below is how BBC reported the story;

"The so-called Islamic State (IS) jihadist group has announced a new leader for its West African branch, popularly known as Boko Haram.

"The latest issue of an IS magazine featured what it called its first interview with Abu Musab al-Barnawi, who replaces the eccentric Abubakar Shekau.

"In a video clip released in January 2015, Mr al-Barnawi described himself as the spokesman for Boko Haram. This was before the Nigeria-based jihadist group pledged allegiance to IS.

"Now IS says he has replaced Mr Shekau, who has not made a verified appearance in propaganda production since August 2015."
