The Cameroonian army have released the photographs of the allegedly killed Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau to the public, claiming he was killed during a cross border raid deep inside Nigeria by the Cameroonian military.

A Cameroonian military source said that Abubakar Shekau was killed following an aerial bombardment of his hideout inside Nigeria. The Cameroon army has ever since yesterday been in serious combat against thousands of Boko Haram fighters trying to enter Cameroon via Fotokol from Gambaral Ngala in Nigeria.

However, the Facebook page in question has taken down the image,The Cameroonian army released a photograph of the leader of the radical Islamist group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau. In the picture, the man whose head was last price is death.

Abubakar Shekau, is he dead? That's the question asked by the website Koaci which continues by questioning whether this death is the work of Cameroonian or Nigerian Army? At the root of these issues, a curious picture of the leader of Boko Haram posted on the internet of the Cameroonian army.

The site states that currently neither the Cameroonian army, let alone the Nigerian Army, have confirmed this information indicates that the photo was posted Saturday. Koaci went further by quoting some sources indicating that Shekau was killed during fighting with soldiers to Konduga in northeastern Nigeria border with Cameroon.

Note that this is not the first time the death of Abubakar Shekau is announced. A look in the rearview mirror us back in 2013, the JTF announced his death in a blaze..[read that here if you missed it] . In response, Abubakar Shekau did no better than posting a video of him when he promised to hit with a vengeance within Nigeria.

A week after soldiers stopped the Boko Haram insurgents from taking over Konduga, a town 35 kilometers from the Borno State capital, Maiduguri, the Nigerian military has said five members of the insurgent group have surrendered in the town releasing photos with more rumoured to have fleed to Cameroon [See that here if you missed it].

.com.ng gathered that the development has put the Boko Haram camp in disarray in Nigeria culminating in the devastating blow the insurgents experienced in Konduga, near Maiduguri on Friday.

The Goodluck Jonathan administration had requested for an approval of a foreign loan of $1 billion from the National Assembly for the procurement of arms and ammunition for the military to combat the insurgents.

Whatever it is, we still wait for full confirmation if that is the Abubakar Shekau terrorizing us. If it is, then we must say it is the beginning of the end of insurgency in Nigeria. Whatever it turns out to be, it is obvious we are making progress.
