Boko Haram, the extremist Islamic group in Nigeria,
has released a video that shows the beheading of a man who identifies himself
the pilot of a missing Nigerian Air Force jet. The video that emerged yesterday also allegedly
features Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau - a terrorist who Nigeria's military
claimed to have killed.
Officials announced last week that Shekau was dead
and that a man who had been posing as the group's leader in the videos had been
killed after fighting with troops in the far northeast.
Footage shows charred plane wreckage that appears to
have Nigerian military markings, bolstering the group's claims that it shot
down a fighter plane.
In the video, a man is seen kneeling in a camouflage
vest with his right hand in a sling, with a fighter hovering over him with an
axe, which is later used in his beheading.
Speaking in English, the victim identifies himself
as a wing commander in the Nigerian Air Force and says he was undertaking a
mission in Kauri area of northeast Borno state.
