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

 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

“There was no raid whatsoever in any part of Nigeria’s territory in 

pursuit of terrorists as claimed in some reports allegedly quoting

 Cameroon military authorities”.
“All operations ongoing in the environs of Konduga & all associated

 border location within the country are completely being undertaken

 by Nigerian troops”
