Boko Haram Commander Shekau Narrowly Escapes Capture; Insiders Suspected
The ongoing insecurity in the northern region of Nigeria may be further compounded by alleged disloyalty in the top ranks of the Joint Task Force [JTF] operation led by the Nigerian Army.
Credible source, have revealed, that the Nigerian security agents had obtained the location and pattern of movement of Boko Haram commander, Shekau, within their radar – through the assistance of security gadgets donated by America, but something strange is happening.
The JTF in Borno had pinpointed and confirmed the location and/or hiding place of Shekau – near a boundary town to Borno on the Niger Republic side near Goure, where many of the terrorist fighters were reported to have escaped to, following the declaration of State of Emergency.
However as the Nigerian military forces swooped into the town in considerable numbers – hoping to capture Shekau and his key men, they all disappeared into an unknown location following what the top ranks in the Nigerian Intelligence circles believe was a tip-off from a mole within the Army led operation.
The Commander of the Military forces stationed in Borno Major Gen. John Ewanshia was really unsettled by the narrow escape of Shekau and his men. Consequently, the security forces has been reshuffled to weed out alleged Boko Haram sympathizers and suspected Muslim hardliners, suspected to be loyal to powerful men who are against the current government.
