Speaking while her face was covered with a veil, the girl disclosed that they had all been married by Boko Haram factional leader Abubakar Shekau.

Shekau can also be seen in the video firing a heavy machine gun and making a 13-minute-long sermon.
“I am not wounded, I am ready to fight and will continue to fight,” he said as he read from a prepared speech in Hausa and flanked left and right by well-armed lieutenants.
