Shekau appeared on the 40-minute video speaking in several languages including English and Arabic. 

The terror leader boasted that he was still alive after the attack and proved it by showing an Islamic calendar. 

He ranted: 'You broadcast the news and published it in your media outlets that you injured me and killed me and here I am.'

'I will not get killed until my time comes,' 

That video, also posted on YouTube, shows an unidentified man who says he is representing Shekau, who had allegedly been ousted by the Islamic State group to which Boko Haram pledged allegiance in March 2015. 

Nigerian soldiers, with the support of regional troops, have recaptured swathes of territory lost to the jihadists since they launched a military campaign in February 2014. 

The mass kidnapping of schoolgirls from the remote town of Chibok provoked global outrage and brought unprecedented attention to Boko Haram and its bloody quest to create a fundamentalist state in northeastern Nigeria
