The Nigerian military on yesteday has issued an official
confirmation to reports that Abubakar Shekau, the eccentric leader of Boko
Haram has being killed. Officially, the military insists the real Mr. Shekau
was killed by soldiers more than a year ago, but that his character had been
assumed by another leader of the deadly group.
The impersonator is the man who appeared in several Boko
Haram propaganda videos, claiming he is Mr. Shekau, the military said.
It was that new face of Mr. Shekau also known as Mohammed
Bashir that was killed in a fierce clash with the military last week in
Konduga, near Maiduguri, Borno State, defence spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, said yesterday.
My take is that the focus should not be on killing Abubakar Shekau but rescue the girls and putting an end to the activities of Boko Haram
