Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has appeared in a new video released on Friday urging his fighters to persist in their insurgency against democratic governments until the sect takes over most countries in Africa and enthrone Sharia particularly in Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Nigeria and Mali.

In the video, he displayed identity cards, arms, ammunition and other equipment purportedly seized from the Cameroonian Army.

Shekau, who maintained that his men will not back down, also refuted recent attacks in Libya and threatened some world leaders.

The 27-minute footage, sent to media houses in Abuja by a journalist with known contact to Boko Haram, has Shekau thanking his loyal followers.

Three days ago, the sect released a video claiming to have killed some three men allegedly working for government as spies.
