Nigeria's military department claims that Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau was confirmed dead on Friday. The announcement came from the military commander leading the campaign against Boko Haram.
"I can confirm to you that the original Shekau was killed, the second Shekau was killed, and the man presenting himself as Shekau, I can also confirm to you that few days ago, he was wounded. We are yet to confirm whether he is dead or not." Maj. Gen. Lucky Irabor who is the commander of the Operation Lafiya Dole said to reporters.
Gen. Irabor further added that a Shekau look-alike, used by Boko Haram in the past for propaganda purposes, he claims that he was also wounded in the airstrike.
The General further said that Boko Haram videos suggesting that Boko Haram leader Shekau is still alive are just a facade.
Thousands of people have been killed by Boko Haram, and over two million people have been displaced since 2009.
