BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – The Nigerian Army says credible information from arrested and surrendered insurgents indicated that the factional Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau can no longer bear the heat anymore as he has abandoned his followers and is now running for his dear life.

It said that Shekau is desperately trying to escape the theatre disguised as a woman dressed in Hijab.

A statement by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman said the military reliably gathered that to avoid detection, Shekau alternates between blue and black coloured hijabs and was last seen in a black hijab.

We therefore call on all those remaining Boko Haram terrorists to know that they are following a coward moving about in hijab disguised as a woman. We also request all the remaining Boko Haram members to come out from hiding and lay down their arms and be treated humanely.

Usman further said; “While concerted efforts are ongoing to track and apprehend the fugitive terrorists leader, we implore also members of the public, especially the residents of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States  to be more vigilant,  security conscious and be on the lookout of Abubakar Shekau and other terrorists that might disguise as women to escape.”

 The Army spokesman also said that concerted efforts of its troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE on the ongoing clearance of the Boko Haram terrorists through Operation DEEP PUNCH II has been yielding tremendous results.

Usman said that its troops have successfully been clearing Boko Haram camps in Sambisa forest, including Camp Zairo, adding that troops have also rescued civilians being held hostages by the terrorists, recovered arms, ammunition, Improvised Explosives Devices (IED) factories and making materials as well as other equipment.

He added that the terrorists are in disarray and scampering for safety, while others were surrendering.
