Abubakar Shekau, leader of the Boko Haram sect, was killed during a face-off with fighters of the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP), according to reports.

Citing an intelligence report, Daily Trust had reported how the Boko Haram leader lost his life after a fierce gun battle with ISWAP fighters.

In a report on the incident, HumanAngle said some ISWAP commanders were killed alongside Shekau.

The platform said ISWAP fighters in gun trucks had invaded Sambisa forest, a stronghold of the late Shekau’s group, on Wednesday, and Shekau was forced to surrender after his men were overpowered.

They had reportedly asked the Boko Haram leader to relinquish power but he was said to have opted to take his life rather than doing so.

“After his bodyguards were subdued, Shekau surrendered and engaged in hours-long meeting with the ISWAP fighters. During the parley, he was asked to voluntarily relinquish power and order his fighters in other areas to declare bai’a (allegiance) to ISWAP’s authority. They had expected Shekau to issue a statement.


“Sources within the insurgency, however, said that Shekau who secretly had a suicide vest on eventually blew himself up alongside everyone present during the negotiations. The identities of the people within ISWAP’s leadership who lost their lives to the explosion remain unclear at this time,” HumanAngle said in its report.

Shekau’s reign

After the death of the group’s founder, Mohammed Yusuf, in 2009, Shekau emerged the spiritual leader of Boko Haram. Several times in the past, Shekau was rumoured to have been killed and fatally wounded during military operations.


But he subsequently debunked the claims by releasing videos and audios.

Deep disagreement among Boko Haram leaders had led to confrontation with Shekau.

Citing Shekau’s rigidity, Abu Musab, a son of Boko Haram founder Mohammed Yusuf, and a top lieutenant, Mamman Nur, broke away from him.

The break-way faction graduated to ISWAP and moved to Alagano and Lake Chad Basin, where they reigned.

Silence from the military

Even though the military authorities are yet to comment on the news about Shekau’s death, Daily Trust learnt that ISWAP’s claim is being verified.

Both the Department of State Services (DSS) and the army authorities are said to be verifying the claim.

We need real proves

Daily Trust and lies...

Video or remain forever silent

What Nigerian army could not do with billions of dollars budget in 12 years is what a ragtag armed group did easily.

So the proverbial cat with Nine lives has finally gone to meet his 21 virgins abeit through his own hands....he must have been tired of waiting for the day the Nigeria military would kill him,to him,it seems that day may never come and that means a long time away from his virgins,and probably to accelerate his meeting with his virgins,he decided to toe the path of the foolish coward he has always been... committing suicide

Wonderful.
So ISWAP kill all Boko Haram commanders and capture Shekau.
Then Shekau killed all ISWAP commanders in negotiation table.
So Boko Haram and ISWAP are finished in one blow!!!

No wonder Nigeria army has been withdrawing men from Borno to southeast!!

Lies

i am suspectin something.

since nigerian military is not involve, are they escaped iswap members or escaped bokoharam members. else how did they got all this news

Ha ha ha

tit:


Ha ha ha

any news that's not from or through an eyewitness is more likely false than true. so who gave them the news since the two party involved are both terrorist?


and if the news is real then the terrorists are not far from the person that announced this!

i believe shekau had joined iswap and is hiding his identity thereby saying he blew himself off so that the deadbody will not be seen. why was he not killed so that his dead body will be posted alongside the news.


examine all things to see how it goes

Good news,

If this is true then we have a bigger problem ahead of us.

Iswap will want to rejuvenate themselves in Nigeria and we all know we have no army capable of defending themselves talkless about the people.

ISWAP will always get new commanders and Godairpus if they ate more deadly than the ones Shekau supposedly took out.
Nigeria trouble wan quadruple.

ISWAP and Nigeria army are the same.
The North and Middle Belt is already conquered.
Shekau has been convinced to stop distracting Nigeria army so they all can face the last frontier : The South East.
The West and South South will not put up a fight.

this is serious

He's dying for the 12th time.

We can only confirm if he doesn't release another video...

You know the game

Bola146:

Enter Sambisa

Ok

we need real proves na..you guys know better bcox if its tru dt u finally killed a man dt keeps resurrecting from d dead after killing him numerous times, u ar supposed to get a pics or video to back up d claim..
I pray this news go viral n when him hear d news, him go release him new freestyle E.P...

How many times will this guy die?? Small time he will release another video.

If this is true, it's good news indeed.

So ISWAP located and killed Shekau.

Something a supposedly more trained Nigeria security forces, with by far more resources and logistics, have failed to do over and over again.
