Boko Haram Joins ISIS
Nigerian militant group Boko Haram
has pledged allegiance to Islamic State (IS), according to an audio statement.
The message, which could not
immediately be verified, was posted
on Boko Haram’s Twitter account and appeared to be by the group’s leader.
Boko Haram began a military
campaign to impose Islamic rule in
northern Nigeria in 2009. The conflict has since spread to neighbouring states.
It would be the latest in a series of
groups to swear allegiance to IS.
