Boko Haram has released an obituary video for one of its cameramen and videographers, identified as Abu Salim al-Barnawi, who was reportedly killed by Nigerian troops during an attempted attack on a military camp.
According to PUNCH, the three-minute, three-second video, obtained on Wednesday, is narrated in Arabic and features al-Barnawi filming the group’s activities as well as taking part in several of its operations.
