These days there were rumours flying everywhere that the leader of Boko Haram Abubakar Shekau is about to surrender to the Nigerian army. How true is this?
A senior spoke person of the Nigerian defence headquarters major gen. John Eneche said " if Shekau followed the due proccess before surrendering they would accept it".
So also another defence spokeman col. Sagir Musa said " he have also heared about the rummour that Shekau is going to surrender but that is not their priority their priority is the war against the terrorists group".
But since the rumours began people started questioning its realibity or otherwise.
A VOA reporter visited a researcher on the group of Boko Haram Barrister Bulama Bukar to hear his views about the issue and he said " honestly speaking this rumours began since when the Chadian troops led by their president conducted a punishing and successful raid against the terrorists group".
He continued" since I read the news from the vanguard newsper i so much doubt it i believed that the rumours comes from the Nigerian army in order to convince Nigerians that it is also succeeding against the group, and this is a repeatation of what happened in the passed where Nigerian army displays large numbers of weapons as gains in the fight to prove that it is succeeding against the group".
It is now 12 years that the Nigerian army and her allied are fighting Boko Haram. Since the crisis began the terrorists have killed 18 thousands lives and have displaced millions from their houses.
