The Nigerian military has said that factional Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has been killed.
The Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole,
Major General Lucky Irabor, who spoke in Adamawa State during a tour of
formations under his command, said the individual originally identified
as Shekau had been killed, adding that the person injured during an air
raid last month is the latest person claiming the name.
Gen. 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”.
He said Boko Haram “released videos to prove that they are still active, but that’s just a façade.”
