In the film, Abubakar Shekau mocks the military for claiming he had been killed, and says he is happy and in good health.
The video is dated September 25 but it’s not clear when it was recorded.
Shekau led a breakaway faction after the main group declared allegiance to ISIL. Earlier this month it announced that he was being replaced.
