Defence HQ Press Release on The Purported Shekau Video In Circulation by TechWalker007: 4:29pm On Oct 02, 2014
ATTENTION: THE PURPORTED SHEKAU VIDEO IN CIRCULATION

The Defence Headquarters is studying the claims made in the video purportedly released by the terrorists showing their leader Abubakar Shekau as dismissing his death. From immediate observation and what some online news outlets claimed to have seen, the video did not indicate when it was shot neither did it show any proof of life or currency such as screen time or date. The video also did not make any reference to anything that has happened since the impostor’s reported death.

It is also noteworthy that the air plane said to be mentioned in the video had been missing before he was killed. It should not surprise anybody if the terrorists decide to manipulate pictures, clone another Shekau or upload a pre-recorded video all in a bid to prove invincible.

As far as we are concerned, the individual who was appearing in video and claiming to be the leader of the terrorist group was killed in the Kondunga battle in September. The resemblance of the corpse and that of the eccentric character was incontrovertible. His identity was equally corroborated by people who knew him before we announced his death.

So, while waiting to see the new video before any further statement, our message to them is that justice will be served to whoever bears that name or designation and whoever engages in the act.

shekau dead or alive its not important.to me he is just a spoke person playing a traditional kingpin role.
terrorism is like breast cancer and ya all know whats up,if its not curbed at an early stage then you might have to cut the breastt off or die.
we already missed the first stage.its either we cut them off as a whole or nigeria becomes the somalia of west africa

It is obvious there are those who are trying hard to make Boko Haram look invincible.

It is also shocking to see certain people almost literally jumping for joy about the news that Shekau is alive.

I commend our troops and may they kill anyone who takes on that name!
May our troops continue to kill them until they run out of "Shekau".

Counter-propaganda, the same mod that put that thread(even though Seun said any thread aiding BH propaganda will never smell FP) on FP should do the needful and put this there too.

Isnt it the same Defence Headquarters that lied us that the Chibok girls have been rescued?

Isnt it the same Defence Headquarters that lied to us that the Haramites didnt capture Bama only for Boko fighters to use Bama as a FOB to launch frontal assault on Konduga?

Alive or dead, all terrorist in Nigeria will surely meet their untimely death.......Rubbish!!!

I believe crushing and ending Boko Haram's reign should be the focus of our security agencies and not whether Shekau is dead or alive.

This is why seun removed the other thread from front page. No doubt the high and mighty are here with us on nairaland.

Here are quotes from the removed thread

MissTeaseMe:
You are right.
But do you know the
pressure seun must be under
as the owner of nairaland. I
am sure the government and
politicians must be breathing
on his neck night and day.

JuanDeDios:
What I don't understand is
why our government is
minded by North Korea-
minded people. What purpose
is served by suppressing this
video? No wonder David Mark
was proposing to start
censoring the Internet! After
one week Mike Omeri or Chris
Olukolade will come out and
dismiss the video, after
pretending for a long time that
it didn't exist.

It is important we all play our part in all honestly, the news media, the military, the government and the citizens.

Truth shld not be suppressed. If the video is real no need to pretend it isnt. If the video is not real, let it be known. Let truth prevail, cos lying wont change the truth. WE SHALL PREVAIL over BH!

Blaming APC or PDP will never solve anything, it will only promote the interest of politicians

Only truth can set us free

What a swift response from the Defence Hq. Things are really beginning to take shape in the Nigerian Military.

I'm of a strong opinion that Shekau is dead and he'll remain dead. i believe this video serves to be a distraction.

God Bless Nigeria for us.
