Now who won and who lost?
Nice to know he has been killed, however, those that flee might still continue the fight for insanity as they have been doing.

At last peace will return back to the troubled state

GOOD RIDDANCE.

Now that's good news

Well, what I would like to know is why he would be killed in custody after being declared captured.

I wonder why his body is bullet ridden. Nigeria Police Force, which way?

I'm not going to praise this at all.

Have you seen how they riddled the body of the mostly followers who happen to be his followers, he was captured then shot dead in custody. This is barbaric as if they were fighting war with an arch enemy. We expect no mercy after the amnesty deadline on MEND, otherwise they will fuel yet another sectarian conflict

I agree with you on this one. The idea of killing people already in police custody is simply stone age. It has happened in MEND, in Kano, and now this one. Can somebody please tell the armed forces, we're now in 2009, where rules of engagement says you shouldn't kill someone already captured.
Unless, someone didn't want him to talk, talk about his connections to powerful politicians.

Yeah, We need an explanation by the government as to why he was shot in custody

the zoo should be careful in handling RADIO BIAFRA and Nnamdi Kanu. how many people have died ever since boko haram leader was killed? so many of you that applauded his killing I'm sure are begging his followers to stop. Be careful.
