Borno Govt lists snake bites among causes of death for Boko Haram leaders

In an interview with Daily Trust, the Special Adviser to the Borno State Government on Security Affairs, Brig. Gen. Ishaq Abdullahi (Rtd) said only about 10 members of the deadly group might still be alive.

Abdullahi said some of the leaders of the terrorist group died as a result of snake bites in the bush while others died due to military action.

He also said many top commanders of the group died due to leadership tussles that followed the death of their leader, Abubakar Shekau, in 2021.
