More than ones it has been reported that Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau had been killed in one of the Nigerian military’s many raids on Nigerian territories under the control of the deadly terrorist group, Boko Haram.
The latest of his death being reported was sometime last year when the Nigerian military released a photo of a dead Boko haram insurgent comparing it with Shekau’s photo and many people did see a lot of resemblance between them. Aside this, there has been nothing to further prove the death of Shekau.
The things that could prove that Shekau may have been truly killed or has been replaced…
1. Speaking during an interview with British publication The Telegraph, Buhari said that he had received conflicting information on the militant leader’s whereabouts, saying that he may have been replaced by a less charismatic leader.
2. Shekau’s voice was last heard in an audio message dated March 7 2015, pledging allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS).
3. Shekau has also failed to appear in the latest video released by the militant group in August 2015. In the eight-minute video, an unidentified young man spoke in the name of the Islamic State in West Africa calling on people to be patient: “We are still present everywhere we had been before.” The video showed the militants attacking a security checkpoint, seizing weapons, and slitting the throat of a man dressed in a police uniform.
What do you think????
