ISWAP has released a new video of its members celebrating the recently held Eid-el-Kabir festival.

The newly released video shows the terrorists celebrating the Islamic Festival in different locations believed to be on the shores of Lake Chad and other villages controlled by the group in Borno State.

According to Daily Trust, the 12’38 video showed men and children praying in open fields and participating in different aspects of the festival, including animal sacrifice in line with the Eid tradition.

The faces of those in the video were blurred, going against the tradition of the terrorist group.

A song in Hausa had preceded the sermon in which the singing group chorused, ‘let’s come together and defeat the infidels who worship the false deities. Today we are happy and thanking God as we celebrate Sallah.’

An unnamed person gave a short talk to the gathered insurgents in Hausa, assuring members of the group still in detention that they would be freed soon.

The unidentified terrorist expressed happiness over the group’s recent prison break in which it freed its jailed members from Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja.
