. Thought it best to bring it over here for your reading pleasure...
Details of how Abubakar Shekau,the impostor and leader of the
Boko Haram terrorist group lost his left in a shootout with Nigerian
troops in Konduga on Wednesday Sept. 17 emerged yesterday
with military sources disclosing that he met his waterloo in an ambush
reminiscent of the type the sect had been using to hack down
Nigerian troops.
Vanguard gathered that when the first attack on Konduga whereby
hundreds of insurgents were taken unawares and killed after over
seven hours of fighting and several of their colleagues, arms and
ammunition captured, the military commanders strategically urged
his captured members to send a message to Shekauthat
they (insurgents) have routed the troops.
Before the captured insurgents were urged to make the contact
and deliver the message, the military commanders had promised
them that their cooperation would play a role in the level of punishment
to be meted to them after the battle hence they felt reassured.
Also, the captured insurgents had disclosed that Shekau usually
moved in a convoy of cars painted in military colours while he sits
in a MOWAG Armoured tank with Boko Haram inscription on its front.
When Shekau was contacted, his captured men spoke to him in Arabic,
assuring him that they had taken over Konduga, thereby giving him the
all clear to proceed from Sambisa Forest. To convince him further,
a set of his men captured were told to sing the victory song in Kanuri
languagethey normally sing at the background.
Having convinced himself that the messenger was his chief courier
in such situation and the message is authentic, he and his followers
made for Konduga, heavily armed with Anti-Aircraft weapons,
General Purpose Machine Guns, several AK 47 rifles and other IEDS’.
However, on entering Konduga town, he and his followers were
encircled by strategically placed and heavily armed Nigerian soldiers.
Immediately he contacted the messenger and discovered that something
was amiss, he ordered his followers to start shooting in all direction.
This spurred the Army Commanders to give the directive to open fire.

When he discovered that the fire power of the Nigerian Army who used
both Infantry and Artillery weaponry was overpowering that of his men,
he jumped out of the MOWAG and made to escape.
But eagle-eyed Nigerian Soldiers spotted him and opened fire in him,
shattering his legs in the process. It was learnt that he also received bullet
wounds in other parts of his body leading to his bleeding to death.
Recall that Military sources had on Sunday night disclosed that Nigerian
troops scored a strategic victory in the current battle against terrorists
operating in the North East on September 17.
The sources noted that during a desperate attempt to capture Konduga
in their delusion to eventually marching on and capturing Maiduguri,
the man who had been mimicking Late Abubakar Shekauin recent
videos was feared to have been finally killed.
The sources said, “It is getting more certain that the terrorists’ Commander
The sources said, “It is getting more certain that the terrorists’ Commander
who has been mimicking Shekauin those videos is the one killed in
Konduga on September 17, 2014.”
Affirming the development, PRNigeria sources said the suspected
demise of the Boko Haram leader is responsible for the scattering
of the sect members in different independent locations in the neighbouring
countries, especially in Cameroon noticed in recent days.
The security sources noted further that “the process of confirming
that the dead body we have is the same as that character who has
been posing as Shekauis ongoing” adding “He is definitely a prominent
terrorist commander. I don’t want to say anything about this yet please.”
Another high ranking military source insisted that the resemblance is too
striking to be a coincidence.
“They cited his facial marks, beards and teeth apart from the recovery by
the Nigerian troops of some of the Armoured Vehicles and Hilux jeeps
that had featured in previous videos of the prime suspect.
“The officers assured that the Defence Headquarters will soon address
the nation after full investigation of their latest discovery”.
Meanwhile, the Defence headquarters yesterday dismissed insinuation
that Cameroonian military personnel carried out raids on Boko Haram
terrorists into border communities in Nigeria.
According to a report posted on its twitter handle, DHQ said

pursuit of terrorists as claimed in some reports allegedly quoting
Cameroon military authorities”.
