The online video streaming platform, YouTube, had yesterday,  Wednesday 21st January, yanked off the controversial video uploaded on its Web by Boko Haram terrorists leader, Abubakar Shekau.

Shekau's video clip went viral barely 24 hours after it was uploaded on the night of Tuesday in which he was featured admitting responsibility over the recent Baga massacre and many other attacks . 

YouTube had to block the 36 minutes footage in which Shekau was abusing and daring the international communities even as he threatened to attack many other west African countries including the interests of United States of America,  France,  Saudi Arabia. 

He was featured in the video speaking Arab and Hausa.  He even attempted to read a copy of an inscription in French. 

Shekau who appeared in military fatigue and surrounded by armoured Tanks and armed men was also seen in the video desecrating the Nigerian flag by burning it and later hoisting the flag of his outlawed Group.  He even made a mockery rendition of the Nigeria national anthem. 

He also boasted about the prowess of his group as he described the Nigerian soldiers as weak and incapable of defeating his group.

He said the government of Nigeria now hides under the pretext that the army fails to defeat his group due to lack of munitions.

Shekau said the arms his group looted from the armoury of the Nigeria Army in Baga is capable of helping him to execute a major war against the country. 

The video had shown a disturbing footage of cache of arms of various classifications being inspected by the Boko Haram insurgents.
