It's like the dreaded Islamic sect's leader, Abubakar Shekau is dead.
Shekau's reported death is contained in the account of some of the survivors of an attack of the sect on Mainok on Friday, as they said they were afraid of returning to the town "because we are told the insurgents are mad as a result of the killing of their leader, Abubakar Shekau, in Konduga."
Over 300 people were killed when the insurgents attacked Mainok market on that Friday in what was believed to be a retaliation of the leader's death as villagers were in the peak of trading on the market day.
A local, Modu Jakana, who narrowly escaped that attack, told Sunday Tribune that the insurgents came in from all angles, "shooting the people as if they were exchanging fire with the military. We don't know how we escaped, but we were so lucky. They were so determined to kill everybody. I saw so many corpses while we were running for dear lives. At the main road, vehicles that were on top speed also killed so many people as there was confusion everywhere.
"This morning, some of our people told us that over 300 people, including some of the insurgents, were killed because we learnt that the military came and engaged them in a fierce fight.
According to senior military and intelligence sources, "it is getting more certain that the terrorists' commander who has been mimicking Shekau in those videos is the one killed in Konduga on September 17, 2014."
Also, PRNigeria said the suspected demise of the Boko Haram leader is responsible for the scattering of the sect members in different independent locations in the neighboring countries, especially in Cameroon noticed in recent days.
The security sources did not deny the suspicion but cautioned that "the process of confirming that the dead body we have is the same as that character who has been posing as Shekau is ongoing. He is definitely a prominent terrorist commander. I don't want to say anything about this yet please."
Another high ranking military source insisted that the resemblance is too striking to be a coincidence. They cited his facial marks, beards and teeth apart from the recovery by the Nigerian troops of some of the Armoured Vehicles and Hilux jeeps that had featured in previous videos of the prime suspect.
The officers assured that the Defence Headquarters will soon address the nation after full investigation of their latest discovery.

.... only ones sir," Bawa said. The Whiteman paused and looked at Bawa. "You are not the only ones, huh? Who are the rest?" he asked. `Garba Dandogo," cried Bawa. "Really?" the Whiteman said. He ordered Sule and Tanko to lift Bawa. The boys who were annoyed at Bawa for revealing that Garba was part of them wrestled with him. Tanko swept his feet and Sule grabbed his arms. They held him strongly and the Whiteman lashed him six strokes. He later took them to their hostel and the moment Garba saw them, he began to panic again. "Come here Boy," he said to Garba who was pretending to be busy cleaning his bed. Garba walked with heavy steps towards him. "Where were you this morning?" he asked. Garba was silent. Apart from the fact that he could not speak English well, he was afraid to answer. The Whiteman understood that the boy was not yet fluent in the English language. He sent for Ibrahim and asked him to interpret. Garba did not tell lies. He admitted. "Okay," the master said. "Take off your shorts and lie down before me." Garba did as he was told. Mr. Jacobs whipped him six strokes and Garba cried, nursing his bruised skin. "You will take punishment for a week, all four of you," he said and ordered Ibrahim to get brooms for them. They were to sweep the floor for one week. .... TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW...JOIN US TOMORROW FOR MORE ON THIS FUNNY AND EXCITING STORY }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
