Spread the love
Boko Haram kingpin, Abubakar Shekau who was rumoured to have been killed
surface in new video advising his followers to “surrender to save themselves.”  The notorious terrorist appears to have
surrendered to constant bombardments by the Nigerian Army troops. Shekau in the
said video called on his followers to embrace peace and stop the fighting. The
timing of the creation of the video is yet to be ascertained.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria military is subjecting the new video from leader of
the Boko Haram sect to forensic examinations in order to ascertain its
authenticity.
A top military officer however told PRNigeria that: “the ongoing campaign
against insurgency and indeed Boko Haram is being intensified most especially
in the Sambisa forest, and its environs in 
order to further degrade and demystify 
the sect and  bring them to their
knees.
“We are aware of the video but we are subjecting it to thorough forensic
investigation. We won’t take any action that can stop the ongoing offensives
against the terrorists in all fronts. Every terrorist is free to surrender.
“While the military is conscious of sustaining the tempo on its war against
terrorism, the military intelligence will subject the undated and unverified
video to forensic analyses.” The officer concluded.
Shekau was last heard from in March 2015, when an audio message attributed
to him was released pledging Boko Haram’s allegiance to the Islamic State
militant group (ISIS), after which it rebranded itself as the Islamic State
West Africa Province (ISWAP).
