The Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram has released its first video of a beheading since it pledged allegiance to ISIS.
The new video adopts many stylistic features of the hundreds of barbaric videos released by ISIS over the year.
The insignia ‘west Africa’ at the top-left corner suggests that ISIS has set up a new
media wing in the country.
According to Daily Mail, a Somali terror group intends to join ISIS, which would extend its so-called caliphate to East-Africa.

It also shows Boko Haram fighters standing proudly next to the corpses of Nigerian troops and showing off their security badges to the camera.
The video ends with the murder of a captured African Union soldier, who was kneeling in front of three masked Boko Haram members, two of whom pointed AK47s at his head.
