Recall that Shekau was reportedly killed during a supremacy battle with another faction of the insurgent group in Sambisa Forest, Borno State back in May 2021.
But, the surrendered fighters have now confirmed that the late terrorists’ leader actually committed suicide during the deadly encounter, an act they described as a contradiction to his preaching.
This was disclosed by the Special Adviser to Borno State governor on Security, Brig Gen. Abdullahi Ishaq (rtd), who spoke in Maiduguri on Saturday, December 10, 2022.
