Boko Haram Leader, Abubakar Shekau Allegedly Dies in a Clash With ISWAP Members Sambisa Forest

Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has reportedly died.

 
According to Vanguard, this happened after suspected members of Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) clashed with Boko Haram members in Sambisa forest.
 
The incident happened on Wednesday, 19th May.
 
According to the report, sources say hundreds of ISWAP fighters invaded Sambisa with heavy gun trucks during the week hunting for Shekau. It was revealed that Shekau was not actually or directly killed by ISWAP, the splinter rival group, but blew himself up and committed suicide when ISWAP attempted to capture him (Shekau) alive, during a gun duel.
 
The report states that although there was no official statement or confirmation on the death of the most wanted terrorist leader, Shekau by Nigerian security forces, a lot of people took to their social media platforms celebrating Shekau’s death on Thursday morning, May 20.
 
A security report quoted in the Vanguard report reads
 
“Unconfirmed source reported that the leader of JAS Abubakar shekau was dethroned and killed by ISWAP and they have taken over the entire sambisa forest.

With these development ISWAP are more equipped and funded than JAS. So their mode of operation will change, and there is likely going to experience frequent attacks around Konduga, Bama, Gwoza, Biu LGA’S and part of Adamawa.

All humanitarians around the axis should be security conscious and be very vigilant.”

I think the military have lost focus, and are facing dementia. Many a time they said we have killed Shekau. You can imagine one man  squad subduing the military, Rather than exhibiting their marksmanship on Shekau, they turn to south-east, as if the south -east the problem of insecurity in Nigeria. Military, do the needful and save the country from insurgents, military politics will not work for you, it will rather cause division within rank and file.
