ARMY CONFIRMS DEATH OF BOKO HARAM LEADER, ABUBAKAR SHEKAU

The Nigerian Military on Thursday, confirmed the
death of factional Boko Haram leader, Abubakar
Shekau.
The Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Major
General Lucky Irabor, said this in Adamawa State
during a tour of formations under his command.
According to Irabor, the individual originally
identified as Shekau has indeed been killed,
though the latest person bearing the name was
recently wounded.
Irabor said, “I can confirm to you that the
original Shekau was killed, the second Shekau
was killed, and the man presenting himself as
Shekau, I can also confirm to you that few days
ago, he was wounded. We are yet to confirm
whether he is dead or not”.
The Commander also confirmed division within
the ranks of the insurgent group which was due
to to constant military pressure
“They released videos to prove that they are still
active, but that’s just a facade,” Irabor said.
Recall that the military after a recent air raid of
the insurgent’s enclave in Sambisa Forest,
claimed that Shekau was “fatally” wounded while
some commanders were killed.”
