As the military deploys its special force units to track the
fleeing leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau, there are strong
indications that the terror kingpin may have fled Nigeria through the help of
Islamic State (ISIS) groups operating in East and North Africa.
Saturday Sun gathered that with the
recent loss of his group’s caliphate headquarters, Gwoza to the Nigerian troops
and the invasion of Sambisa forest by a detachment of the nation’s special
force units deployed from their base in Makurdi, Benue State, the Boko Haram leader
saw his capture as imminent.
According to dependable
military intelligence sources, Shekau had to send emissaries to ISIS
affiliates with strongholds in East and North Africa to pave the way for his
escape to their region from where he intends to coordinate his group’s
activities or ultimately relocate to ISIS headquarters in the Middle East.
