Abubakar Shekau
The media was awash yesterday
with the news of the ‘resurfacing’ of Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the
islamist extremist group in Nigeria, Boko Haram, who the Nigerian Army recently
suggested was dead. The long silence from Abubakar Shekau between the time he
was pronounced dead by the army and his latest ‘communication’ lent credence to
the suggestion, and people began to believe that he was truly dead.
