Nigerian militant group Boko Haram has pledged
allegiance to Islamic State (IS), according to an audio
statement.
The message, which could not immediately be verified,
was posted on Boko Haram's Twitter account and
appeared to be by the group's leader.
Boko Haram began a military campaign to impose
Islamic rule in northern Nigeria in 2009. The conflict
has since spread to neighbouring states.
It would be the latest in a series of groups to swear
allegiance to IS.
