A man who claimed to be leader of Nigeria's Boko Haram has appeared in a video posted on social media, rejecting statements by the country's military that he had been seriously wounded in an air strike.

"You have been spreading in the social media that you injured or killed me," the man purporting to be Abubakar Shekau, leader of the armed group, said in the 40-minute video released on YouTube on Sunday.
