Borno-born journalist said to be a close ally of Boko Haram, Ahmad Salkida, has dismissed the reported killing of a top leader of the outlawed Islamist sect.

Salkida, who is on self-exile in the United
Arab Emirates over alleged threats to his life, said he has it on “authority” that Abubakar Shekau was hale and hearty.

Writing on Twitter, Salkida, who is widely reported to have had an unfettered access to the late Boko Haram founder, Mohammed Yusuf, stated that residents of the various communities in the north east have yet to feel the positive impact of the recent gains in the counter-insurgency operations.

Salkida claimed that Shekau, who he had
discussions with recently during a failed attempt to negotiate an end to the continued incarceration of the Chibok girls was not the one being portrayed in a picture circulating online.

“Mark my words: I have it on authority that Shekau is well and alive.

hmm....lovely, at least Cameroun & Nigeria can now swallow their pride.

I do think that people actually get a kick for immortalizing terror. Besides this man is clearly a part of the boko haram group.

Shekau may still be alive, but he's dead to me. He's something less that a living tree in my world.

Your Army led by liar Olukolade are just bunch of cowards, what will it take a nation like Nigeria to silence this Boko Haram boiz, they can form alliance with other African states to achieve this but nothing good came out of it when the British , US & Chinese came all to no avail.

Well, my opinion stands still.

Why do you keep making boko haram look like ragtag army?. Why dont you ask what it take US and Pakistan to silence the taliban (or you think we are better than the two country.).
Shekau may be alive but our army are doing their best.

The real Shekau was killed last year.

Shekau is now a title in the bokoharam camp.

Mallam Ahmed,
abeg ask shekau (in obj voice):

Shekau!
Are you dead?

You see!

Umaru are you dead?

mrofficial: I know a post like this will not make the front page after the PDP e-warriors have said all sort of things about El-rufai's silence. Someone has obviously been paid on Nairaland by PDP. Corruption everywhere.

It is comments like this that make people believe APC are strong supporters of Boko Haram.

Shekau is dead and gone period.... but the BH might install another shekau.And he will still b killed.I trust our gallant NA,may the Almighty God protect u ppl.

Just they observe.
