open field to celebrate Sallah, a Muslim feast that was marked last Thursday,
according to a video released by the sect.
However, SaharaReporters could not confirm the date the video was shot, as only
screenshots of the video were made available to us by a citizen reporter. In the video,
sect members can be seen calmly saying Eid prayers in the company of their families,
with a rifle standing upside down.
The video images may be part of the sect’s efforts to counter statements by the
Nigerian army that the Islamist insurgent fighters were on a steady retreat, with Nigerian
troops seizing a sizeable territory hitherto occupied and controlled by members of the
terrorist sect.
