The Death Of Boko-Haram Leader Shekau Doesn’t Worth The Celebration Yet (See Why)
According to report, the leader of Boko Haram Islamist sect, Abubakar Shekau has allegedly committed suicide, after events related to the fighting’s between Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) at the Sambisa forest area.
This was disclosed by Humangle, conflict and insecurity in Africa research firm, on Thursday morning.
Shekau’s enclave was tracked down by ISWAP using its forces based in the Timbuktu Triangle. His fighters were killed in the process, followed by a long gunfire exchange between the invading group and Shekau’s bodyguards.
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.
The report disclosed that Shekau who had a suicide vest on eventually blew himself up alongside everyone present during the negotiations.
Hmmm Wahala dey o.
MY THOUGHTS:
I don’t know how authentic the above information is, however, if Shekau is dead for real, his death does not worth any celebration from Nigerians.
Why? Because he was not killed by the Nigeria Army, but fellow terror group ISWAP. You can’t ende Terror with Terror.
How sure are we that he’s dead for real? Hiw sure that this is not a plan to trick us? This is the 100th time we’ve heard similar stories. Na 9 lives he get?
On 19 August 2016 Shekau was reported to have been “fatally wounded” during an airstrike in Taye village by Nigerian Air Force which also killed some senior leaders of Boko Haram. On 25 September, a video of a man purported to be Shekau was released on YouTube, in which he claimed that he was alive and in good health. And truely, he was!
According to the story, 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.
He refused and ended up committing suicide. It’s a case of supremacy. Reason why his death doesn’t worth celebrating..if at all he committed suicide for real. What if he had agreed to join them?🤔
