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.”
