Nigeria reportedly captures Boko Haram leader Shekau December 19, 2016 - 15:51 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The leader of the deadly Boko Haram terrorist group Abubakar Shekau may have been captured by "king of hunters" around Gafa Mountain in Nigeria's Borno state, Naij reports. An highly placed source quoted in a news report revealed that troops of the Nigerian army fighting in the area had surrounded the Gafa Mountain area last week over intelligence report that top Boko Haram leaders were hiding there. On several other previous occasion, the Nigerian military had pronounced Shekau either arrested or killed only for the Boko Haram leader to bounce back alive with YouTube video releases. The Nigerian army, earlier this year had announced the death of three key commanders of the extremist Boko Haram sect. The army said the terrorists were killed in a major air strike on their location in the dreaded Sambisa Forest. Also, on May 12, 2014, the DSS, through its former spokesperson, Marilyn Ogar, insisted that the man in the videos released by the sect was not the real Shekau.
