AT LAST: Boko Haram Commander Shekau Has Been Killed
Finally the big iroko has been brought down
and Nigeria will soon begin to experience peace
again, after a long while, courtesy of the
activities of heartless Abubakar Shekau and his
Boko Haram boys.
Gurusloaded.com gathered that multiple
sources in and around Borno are confirming
that Nigerian military air-strike in the Konduga
area has sent the dreaded Boko Haram leader
to his grave. News of the death of Shekau and
some of his top commanders in the latest battle
with troops in Konduga is spreading.
Confirming that Shekau has been killed, one of
the residents said: “Look, this picture is being
circulated after the attack in Konduga. If you
know Shekau very well, you will know he is the
one in this picture…
“We all know him very well. Many of his
commanders were also killed during the
attack. We learnt that some of them that were
caught alive are held in the barracks.
“The remaining ones are those attacking
people now. They have gone wild, but we were
also told that the soldiers are in pursuit of
them. Our prayer is that they would all fall and
our state can experience peace again.
Shekau’s reported death is also contained in the
account of some of the survivors of an attack of
the sect on Mainok on Friday, as they said they
were afraid of returning to the town “because
we are told the insurgents are mad as a result
of the killing of their leader, Abubakar Shekau,
in Konduga.”
Reports reaching Tribune in Maiduguri, Borno
state capital, indicated that over 300 people
were killed when Boko Haram attacked Mainok
market on Friday in what was believed to be a
retaliation for their leader’s death. They
attacked when villagers were in the peak of
trading on the market day.
A local, Modu Jakana, who narrowly escaped
that attack, told Tribune that the insurgents
came in from all angles, “shooting the people as
if they were exchanging fire with the military.
We don’t know how we escaped, but we were so
lucky. They were so determined to kill
everybody. I saw so many corpses while we
were running for dear lives. At the main road,
vehicles that were on top speed also killed so
many people as there was confusion
everywhere.
“This morning, some of our people told us that
over 300 people, including some of the
insurgents, were killed because we learnt that
the military came and engaged them in a fierce
fight. There is calm, but we won’t return to
Mainok.
“For now, they said calm has returned, but we
cannot go back because these people may
strike again. They said the people (Boko Haram)
are mad, following the killing of their leader,
Abubakar Shekau, during the attack in
Konduga.”
A top source told Gurusloaded.com that
Nigeria military authority is trying to confirm
the development.
