Photo: Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has being killed

Leader of the Boko Haram islamic terror sect Abubakar Shekau is dead!!

Cameroon military released the above photo with a statement claiming they killed him during a cross border raid deep inside Nigeria.

According to a report on Cameroon Concord, Abubakar Shekau was killed following an aerial bombardment of his hideout inside Nigeria.

The Cameroon army has ever since yesterday been in serious combat against thousands of Boko Haram fighters trying to enter Cameroon via Fotokol from Gambaral Ngala in Nigeria.

Meanwhile Nigerian military sources said yesterday said that during a desperate attempt by the Boko Haram terrorists to capture Konduga, the man who had been mimicking Late Abubakar Shekau in recent videos might have been killed.

Affirming the development, PRNigeria sources said the suspected demise of the Boko Haram leader is responsible for the scattering of the sect members in different independent locations in the neighbouring countries, especially in Cameroon noticed in recent days.

The security sources noted further that "the process of confirming that the dead body we have is the same as that character who has been posing as Shekau is ongoing" adding "He is definitely a prominent terrorist commander. I don't want to say anything about this yet please."

Another high ranking military source insisted that the resemblance is too striking to be a coincidence.

"They cited his facial marks, beards and teeth apart from the recovery by the Nigerian troops of some of the Armoured Vehicles and Hilux jeeps that had featured in previous videos of the prime suspect."

The officers assured that the Defence Headquarters will soon address the nation after full investigation of their latest discovery.
