The Boko Haram camp is in disarray at the moment as struggle for power and leadership is the order of the day in the camp of the insurgents. Latest news coming out of the camp indicates that the era of Abubakar Shekau might be over soon - Report has it that Shekau has lost has lost grounds to Abu Mus’ab Albarnawi, the son of Boko Haram founder Muhammed Yusuf Latest news coming out of the Boko Haram camp indicates that the era of Abubakar Shekau might be over soon. According to a report by Daily Trust, Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has lost grounds to Abu Mus’ab Albarnawi after days of clashes between the two terrorists factions in remote areas of Borno state. Some locals quoted in the report, described the new development as “battle of supremacy between Shekau and Albarnawi.”

Hundreds of locals have fled the area due to the fighting by both factions of the insurgent group. Both factions are said to have holed up in remote areas from where they occasionally emerge to launch attacks on military formations. Albarnawi is the son of Boko Haram founder Muhammed Yusuf, who parted ways with Shekau, his father’s successor, about a year ago. Several insurgents lost their lives in the reported clashes, with sources saying Albarnawi’s faction ultimately had an upper hand. The two factions reportedly clashed in the vicinity of Dikwa over reported encroachment by a member of one faction into the territory of the other. The two factions operate in different areas in Borno state, with the understanding that no one encroaches into the other’s territory. Accordingly, Shekau’s men roam parts of southern Borno while Albarnawi’s fighters operate in the northern part of the state. It was reported that lately some of the members of Albarnawi faction strayed into Shekau’s territory around Dikwa, as a result of which they were reportedly accosted and killed by the Shekau fighters. The Albarnawi faction immediately organised a reprisal, summoning its men from the surrounding enclaves; the result was a heavy clash of the two factions, resulting in heavy casualties. “Nobody can tell who lost how many lives and how many if whose men got injured because, as you know, nobody dared go near there,” the source said. The clashes were said to have taken place in areas such as Gwarimiri, Mulgwailawanti, Golofori, Gaggau, Taye, as well as Charma I and Charma II with Albarnawi taking over the locations from Shekau. Other locations allegedly taken over by Albarnawi’s fighters were Umdarari, Jubul, Shuwari, Fulatar, Shunkori, and many others. The locations, mostly hamlets were sand-witched in the axis of Gamboru-Ngala, Dikwa, Mafa, Konduga, Bama, and Gwoza local government areas of Borno state. During the latest confrontation, Albarnawi’s fighters armed with high calibre weapons, launched a daring attack on Shekau’s fighters beginning from last Friday, killing many and taking over their weapons, and their locations. “The Albarnawi faction were the ones who launched a deadly attack on Shekau’s people beginning from Gwarimiri, Mulgwailawanti, Golofori, Gaggau and Taye,” a villager said. “The Albarnawi’s fighters then consolidated their ‘territorial conquest’ to other places…They have taken over many places where Shekau’s men either wooed or forcefully converted the villagers to become their sympathizers or simply held them hostage,” he added. Another source said: “The Albarnawi fighters had some Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) and many Hilux trucks while some of them rode on motorcycles as they moved on." Shortly after Albarnawi’s fighters had the upper hand after the encounter with Shekau’s faction, locals in the affected communities were allowed to decide whether they wanted to stay in the houses or move on. “The invaders said those who want to go to nearby Konduga should go and those who want to even proceed to Maiduguri or Bama are free to go,” a source said. Albarnawi, alongside Mamman Nur, a key Boko Haram leader on US terrorist list parted ways with Shekau in 2016. This came to the fore in the first week of August 2016, when the ISIS put an end to the seven years of Shekau’s reign, and in his place, anointed Albarnawi. On August 4, Shekau personally described the breakaway Albarnawi and his cohorts as “heretics” and soon after the new development, sporadic ideological and practical fighting broke out between the two factions. Shortly after they parted ways in 2016, Albarnawi made strenuous efforts and established his bases in northern fringes of Borno that shares borders with Niger, Chad, and parts of Cameroon. Shekau, on the other hand, consolidated his bases mostly in southern parts of Borno, including Sambisa forest and the Mandara Mountains that leads to Cameroon. Meanwhile, a former governor of Borno state, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, has raised serious allegation against Governor Kashim Shettima accusing him of being the boss of Boko Haram. In a statement sent to journalists by his spokesman, the former governor said: “In Maiduguri, Governor Shettima cannot walk free on the streets, while Sheriff walks freely every day. “In Maiduguri, the citizens know that Shettima is the Boko Haram boss and the keeper of Chibok girls.’’
