The Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, has hinted that the Federal Government will not celebrate the death of the leader of the Boko Haram terrorists group, Abubakar Shekau.

Speaking to Punch on Wednesday in Abuja, the minister said the federal government would instead celebrate the laying down of arms by Boko Haram members, saying; that has been the crux of the fight against insurgency.

Maku, who made the disclosure after the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting, further hinted that the government was not interested in celebrating the death of any terrorists.

“The Federal Government would be happier if the Boko Haram leader and his group laid down their weapons and embraced peace,” Maku said.

The minister while differentiating government from the sect explained that government has a responsibility to respect human rights unlike members of the Boko Haram group who have thrown away all sympathy for human lives and are prepared to kill people just for the sake of killing.

“For us it is immaterial if the leader of the terrorist group is killed or not.

We want them to drop their weapons and embrace peace. We want them to drop their weapons, stop killing their parents and innocent people and accept peace” he said
Shekau. Is dead if you don't believe it check this pictures ......HERE

This guy is a cretin. I don't know where Jonathan is seeing all these mediocres and clueless people. How can he say that the killing of a Terrorist kingpin is immaterial? Is he wiser that the USA that celebrated Osama's murder in 2011 and Al Shabab's Kingpin murder few weeks ago?

Truly, we have mediocres-in-power

Those guys you mentioned are NOT Americans!!

Shekau is/was Nigerian, why do you want FG to celebrate the death of it's OWN citizen
They're saying: "please surrender!!"

barcanista: This guy is a cretin. I don't know where Jonathan is seeing all these mediocres and clueless people. How can he say that the killing of a Terrorist kingpin is immaterial? Is he wiser that the USA that celebrated Osama's murder in 2011 and Al Shabab's Kingpin murder few weeks ago?

Well spoken Mr Info minister, the overall disarmament of the group is a greater feat worth celebrating than the mere head of a terror group that can be easily replaced.

Shekau death is a good start but the overall destruction of the group remains the ultimate . . .

In time we shall accomplish that . . . .God bless Nigeria

if you aware of the modus operandi of all terror organisations you would know that killing the leader doesn't end their campaign, it only paves the way for another.

alshabaab has a new leader and still terrorises somalia, alqaeda has a new leader after osama and still a threat yo the world. although killing shekau is a big blow to those cows but it isn't the end until they all surrender or are completely wiped off.

next time don't just cut out a section of a comment to justify your immature conclusion.

I hope all APC maggots will deploy common sense when commenting . . . .

And if the death of Shecow finally put an end to the Nigerian version of boko haram terrorism it means there's a new definition to terrorism and maybe the picture below will help us with our curiosity

you just took the words out of my mouth.

I know that its a matter of time and he will showcase his immaturity (barcanista). he's been claiming matured mind ever since but now he's showcasing his real self that's what being a apc mugu makes you.

what's the need of celebration when some bastards are still out there with arms waiting to regroup and attack.

till all surrenders no need for celebration.

I don't know how you reason but your reasoning is flawed. Americans that are convicted for murder and given death sentence are what? The law permit the military and other security outfit to take down ANYONE that takes up arms against the country, or whose conduct constitute a threat to the peace and security of Nigerians by using ANY means EXCEPT they surrender. Shekau II did not surrender, he was killed in battle and it is a Major victory for the Military, the Government and the Country. It is a major defeat to terrorism locally and worldwide.

You talk like Jonathan...

Really? Which Shekau? I mean which version?
I hope it is not the one all over media threatening to sell the Chibok girls into slavery.

You mean the man in the 8 secs Youtube video is Shekau?
Common, give me a break! I know some Nigerians are corrupt, but are we blind too?

Let me tell you, al qaeda are WEAK today compared to what they were 10years ago. The death of Osama and their bigwigs caused a lot of damage both psychologically. Alshaabab's can swear in a New President-General but the fact remains that their potency has been whittled down with the death of their leader. In a battle, the Death of the Leader is tantamous to defeat of the group. They can never remain the same again mentally and psychologically...

I don't know where your argument is but it is not logical

America will never celebrate the execution of a leader of an insurgency within her borders when the rest of the murdering fools are at large.

Those celebrations you referenced are meant to applaud their intelligence capacity to take out difficult targets elsewhere . . .It is similar to the Israeli celebration when three top Hamas officials were liquidated.

You are aware the purported death of the first Shekau didn't quell the insurgency, why should we feel this is enough for the day. Yes, Shekau death is a great feat but we need to acknowledge that there is more to do to quell the rebel group while securing our borders . . . .

God bless Nigeria

The death of Shekau I did not yield any result because BH played a fast one on us. They won the Psychological battle against the Government and the Military. They made everyone believe that Shekau is not dead with Shekau II making mockery of us. Even the President blabbed when asked about the Shekau's death in his media chat. That alone was a major setback to the insurgency fight and a major boost to the insurgents. But with this event, the insurgents are now in the state of awe. Their inspiration is gone as well as other top commanders. It is a Major boost to the Soldier Morale and the Country.

As for this, whatever it means... It calls for Celebration.

If that formidable Al Barnawi guy or whatever is still at large , he can simply take over and wreck more havoc. After all, he is the main military brute that runs the show on the field.

Yes , it is a major boost against the insurgents but that is never the end of it all. massive disarmament of the group in general is the ultimate.

Why shouldn't I bring the Israeli- Hamas angle when you referenced nations celebrating the decimation of top targets in foreign lands . . .

When Mohammed Yusuf was killed we thought we've seen the end of BH, behold a new leader Shekau 1 was appointed and he became more vicious and deadlier than Yusuf and BH became stronger. When Shekau 1 was killed sometimes back we thought it's gonna be over soon, but rather a deadly viper Shekau 11(Bashir Mohammed) was appointed and he took the BH thing to a whole different level. So what makes you think celebrating their death is worth it? defeating and disarming them makes more sense than target elimination.

Mohammed wasn't killed in battle but in cold blood. BH were more brutal because the cold blooded murder of Mohamed angered them. You don't kill someone in custody extra-judicially. However, Shekau II was killed in battle field
