ATTENTION: THE PURPORTED SHEKAU
VIDEO IN CIRCULATION
The Defence Headquarters is studying the
claims made in the video purportedly
released by the terrorists showing their
leader Abubakar Shekau as dismissing his
death. From immediate observation and
what some online news outlets claimed to
have seen, the video did not indicate when it
was shot neither did it show any proof of life
or currency such as screen time or date. The
video also did not make any reference to
anything that has happened since the
impostor’s reported death.
It is also noteworthy that the air plane said
to be mentioned in the video had been
missing before he was killed. It should not
surprise anybody if the terrorists decide to
manipulate pictures, clone another Shekau
or upload a pre-recorded video all in a bid
to prove invincible.
As far as we are concerned, the individual
who was appearing in video and claiming to
be the leader of the terrorist group was
killed in the Kondunga battle in September.
The resemblance of the corpse and that of
the eccentric character was incontrovertible.
His identity was equally corroborated by
people who knew him before we announced
his death.
So, while waiting to see the new video
before any further statement, our message to
them is that justice will be served to
whoever bears that name or designation and
whoever engages in the act.
