A man purporting to be the leader of the Boko Haram Islamist group has said in a video that his fighters carried out a deadly attacks on the Nigerian town of Baga earlier this month.

The man said to be Abubakar Shekau said people were killed "as our Lord instructed us", threatening more raids.

He taunted nearby countries' leaders.

Some reports said that as many as 2,000 people died in the Baga raid but Nigeria's government has disputed this, putting the toll at just 150.

"We killed the people of Baga," the man claiming to be Shekau said in the 35-minute video, quoted by AFP news agency.

He also issued a challenge to Nigerian and regional forces to attack his group.

he video displayed an array of weapons believed to have been taken from a military base in neighbouring Doron Baga.

Boko Haram has seized control of towns and villages in north-east Nigeria and has begun threatening neighbouring countries.

The video has not been verified but correspondents say it was in typical Boko Haram style, with the group's leader in combat fatigues and surrounded by masked fighters.
