| [[Video] Our campaign of violence has ended as Buhari is charge - Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau |
A video published by Leadership, purportedly shows Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau, who was previously rumoured to have been killed, advising his followers to “surrender to save themselves”. In the video trending online, Abubakar Shekau, who had grown emaciated and looked calm throughout his speech in Hausa Language told allegedly told his fellow terrorists that “his campaign of violence has ended”. Possibly because they have gotten what the set out to achieve - implanting Muhammadu at the so Rock.
Boko Haram intensified as the Northern Oligarchy became desperate in their quest to return to power. We could not however independently verify the authenticity of the video.
The video however, smirks of Nigerian Army's propaganda.
Analysis of the speech by Shekau casts doubt on the claims of the terrorist leader’s surrender. NAIJ's editors have carefully listened to the now-viral speech by Shekau. They could not verify any message urging the Islamists to lay down their weapons in the video.
"Contrary to the Leadership’s take on the video, our translators noted that Shekau continually used: 'Naji sakon ku, naji, gaisuwar ku, Allah ya saka maku da alkairi,' meaning 'I have received ya messages, I have heard you greetings, God bless you.'
"He also spoke about their deformed caliphate in Gwoza, noting that the people are also wishing him well. Further analysis of the video suggests that a surrendering man does not surrender with arms at his shoulder. Shekau was carrying a firearm and could not possibly be telling others to lay down theirs, experts say.
