Abubakar Shekau: Boko Haram chief 'shown alive' in video
A video has been released in Nigeria purportedly showing the leader of the Islamist militant group Boko Haram alive.
In August, the Nigerian military said it might have killed Abubakar Shekau during a shoot-out.
In the video a man believed to be Mr Shekau said the world "should know that he could not die except by the will of Allah".
Other previous reports of his death later proved to be unfounded.
