Boko Haram Leader Abubakar Shekau has been Killed by Cameroon' Army

It's all over the news on the internet already. Nigerian security forces are investigating reports that Abubakar Shekau, the notorious leader of the Boko Haram extremist group waging an Islamist insurgency in the country's north, has been killed in fighting.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau is reportedly dead, after the Cameroon army claimed to have killed the radical leader who has terrorized several African states and led the kidnapping of more than 200 young girls.
The army released a statement Sunday, claiming that Shekau was killed in a bombing campaign. The army also published a photograph of a dead man who resembled Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau.
The Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram has been active in many countries, including Nigeria where earlier this year members abducted 200 school girls, many of whom are still being held.
It is by far from the first report of Shekau's death — previous claims of his demise have been put down with sneering proof-of-life videos in which the Islamist commander mocks the inability of his foes to defeat him. But the release of a photo by Cameroon's armed forces purporting to show Shekau's body has attracted particular interest.
The image shows a man lying on the ground, apparently with a wound to his head. The bearded individual bears a close resemblance to Shekau as seen in the many video appearances in which he threatens the Nigerian government and boasts of the strength of the Islamist group which has brought mayhem and bloodshed to a large swathe of the north.
The Cameroonian military posted the picture to social media with no explanation as to the circumstances of the alleged killing. The country's armed forces have been increasingly engaging with Boko Haram along its border as the group makes gains in the state of Borno, north-eastern Nigeria.
