We don’t know what to believe anymore, the same Abubakar
Shakau has been announced to have been killed about five times, perhaps this is
the first time we actually saw a picture of the purported Shakau. Shekau is said to have released a video again,
saying he is alive. Nigerian security force on the other hand, is saying video
is fake. Who do we believe???
Statement below;
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 act
