According to International investigative journalist Bisong Etahoben, a photo of Boko haram leader Shekau shot dead by bullet has been posted on the website of the Cameroon army. His death has also been confirmed by Nigeria’s senior military and intelligences sources.
Shakua is believed to have been shot dead during the insurgents bid to capture Konduga on Sept 17 which left over 100 of the them killed.
"It is getting more certain that the terrorists' commander who has been mimicking Shekau in those videos is the one killed in Konduga on September 17, 2014,” the military source said.
The PR Nigeria 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 did not deny the suspicion but cautioned that "the process of confirming that the dead body we have is the same as that character who has been posing as Shekau is ongoing. 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.
