The leader of insurgent group
Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has again escaped from being captured by men of
the Nigerian Army.
According to the BBC, Shekau
escaped from his hideout inside the Sambisa Forest, leaving behind some of his
clothing, chewing stick and a pistol.
A source from the vigilante force
working with the Army said the troops were very close to the Boko Haram leader’s
hideout in Sambisa when an order to retreat forced them to halt operation.
The Nigerian Army placed a bounty
of N3million on Shekau’s head.
Before then, the Army repeatedly
claimed they have caught, killed or injured Shekau.
President Muhammadu Buhari also
claimed a year ago that Boko Haram had been technically defeated.
