Unconfirmed reports have emerged that the Nigerian troops may
have killed the man said to be mimicking the current leader of the Boko Haram
sect. This may come as a major victory for the Nigerian troops who have been
engaging the sect in serious gun battles in the last few weeks.
Reports from PR Nigeria quoted a source in the military as
saying that: “it is getting more certain that the terrorists’ commander who has
been mimicking Shekau in those videos is the one killed in Konduga on September
17, 2014.”
