The Nigerian Army has claimed that Abubakar Shekau, a factional
leader of Islamist insurgent group, Boko Haram, was “fatally wounded” in
an air attack carried out by the Nigerian Air Force.
In a statement released late yesterday, Army spokesman, Colonel Sani
Kukasheka Usman, said Mr. Shekau was wounded in an “unprecedented and
spectacular air raid,” adding, “some key leaders of the Boko Haram
terrorists have been killed while others were fatally wounded.”
“The air interdiction took place last week Friday 19th August 2016,
while the terrorists were performing Friday rituals at Taye village,
Gombale general area within Sambisa forest, Borno State,” Colonel Usman
stated.
He added that the confirmed casualties among the Boko Haram commanders
included Abubakar Mubi, Malam Nuhu and Malam Hamman. The military
spokesman added that the Islamist group’s “leader, [the] so-called
‘Abubakar Shekau,’ is believed to be fatally wounded on his shoulders.”
