An ex Boko Haram commander, Abdulkadir Abubakar has revealed that the sect's leader, Abubakar Shekau has left Sambisa forest, and is now hiding in Mandara Mountain.
The former chief intelligence officer was arrested by troops in June along Buni Yadi in Gujba local government area of Yobe State, NAN reports.

Abubakar also promised to help the military capture Shekau and also broker peace between the sect's two factions and the Federal Government.

He said “I am cooperating with the military and I am ready to provide information on the whereabouts of Shekau. Shekau has left his enclave in Sambisa and moved deep into Mandara Mountain. I know the area where he is hiding and willing to provide a guide to the military.

“The intensified military offensive has weakened Shekau’s position and that of the other groups."

The former commander also accused Shekau of frustrating all the efforts to negotiate with the government.

He said “Shekau is not willing to surrender due to his high handedness. Unfortunately, the government and military authorities accorded priority on dealing with Shekau, who is blood thirsty.

“Albarnawi has indicated interest to dialogue with the government to end insurgency and provide a lasting solution to the crisis. Albarnawi discusses this with members of his circle. And I can assure the government that he would cooperate to achieve peace.

“The two factions are willing to cooperate with Nigerian Government to defeat Shekau."

“During the early days of the insurgency we fought for what we thought was a just cause, to establish a caliphate where human beings are valued, cherished and respected.

“After annexing vast territories, Shekau began to demonstrate his cruelty and atrocities against humanity.

“In view of the high level atrocities committed by the group,some of the top commanders including myself, Albarnawi and Mamman Nur challenged Shekau, demanding an immediate end to the ugly saga.

“Thereafter, Albarnawi and Mamman Nur parted ways, and formed their groups. Shekau is responsible for suicide bombings and attack on soft targets in the North-East.

“The Albarnawi and Mamman Nur groups never attacked schools, religious places of worship, markets, women and children. Our fight was strictly with security forces. Even the kidnapped oil workers would not be killed by the group.


“Shekau is fond of using the girls and other abducted women as intimacy gadgets, and suicide bombers. He kills on the pretence of punishing for lies, theft, and rebellion. Shekau kills without justification.

“Shekau arrogated to himself the powers to accuse, prosecute, convict and punish in total contradiction to Islamic teachings.Children and women also starved to death in Sambisa due to Shekau’s cruelty," he added.

Members of the Boko Haram sect recently attacked six villages - Abachari, Kote, Uda Lawanti and Wokilli, all in Nganzi Local Government Area of Borno state, killing at least 27 people.

It's clear Shakua is an employee of the north. Why are they(FG) always giving him info to have a head start whenever his hiding place is revealed. Is this info not supposed to be covet?

Nigeria Army said some weeks ago that he is dead, now he is hiding in a mountain.

Even When Osama's hideout was revealed, they (Marines) made sure he was in a body bag before media frenzy.

Shekau will hear this message and still remain there



Has BH become the militant wing of APC because they churn out same propaganda while their BMCs defend both

If you did actually know where he is hiding then go and get him for us. Stop telling us!

If you did actually where he is hiding then go and get him for us. Stop telling us!

Just go and get him dead or alive wherever he is hiding.

Fake news

The guy with white rain boots though! he's feeling funky

Book Haram matter don tire us!

Not logical @ all..

This is the best time for the New sheriff in town to crush bokoharam like he did to the Maitastine group.

This is the best moment to lead the battle from the front as he promised and crush Shekau in his hideout.

another set up

I thought I was the only one thinking that they are just bunch of jokers with all the stuff they are putting up in the media.

This news should go n sit down.

I just pray Nigeria sees the end of this insurgency and peace will return to the country at large so we move forward and develop this country to what others will envy
