BREAKING: Boko Haram Commanders Killed, Shekau Fatally Injured In Major Army Airstrike On Boko Haram
The Nigerian army has claimed that Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau has been “fatally wounded” in an unprecedented air raid that also killed several top commanders of the Islamist group.
The claim is yet to be independently verified but the Nigerian Army confirmed the news through its twitter handle.
In the early hours of Tuesday (23 August), the Nigerian army wrote on Twitter: “Breaking News: Nigerian Air Force raid kills Boko Haram terrorists commanders… ‘Abubakar Shekau’ fatally wounded.”
BREAKING NEWS: NIGERIAN AIR FORCE RAID KILLS BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS COMMANDERS... “ABUBAKAR SHEKAU” FATALLY WOUNDED!
The army’s claims come a day after the Nigerian air force said as many as 300 Boko Haram insurgents were killed during operations in the state of Borno, a stronghold of the Islamist group.
Over the past few days, the Nigerian army has been conducting aerial operations against the extremist group, which has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (Isis) group and seeks to abolish Western influence in the African nation.
