The United States yesterday expressed doubts over
claims by the Nigerian military that Boko Haram leader,
Abubakar Shekau had been killed in recent clashes with
troops.
According to a senior State Department official who
spoke with reporters, “ the Nigerian government has
announced several times that the head of Boko Haram
was dead, and every single time, we find out that it is
not true.
“What I read recently is that Shekau’s lookalike or some
Shekau impostor was killed and then I read later that
maybe, Shekau himself was killed. I don’t put a lot of
weight on those stories until we see more evidence,” the
official added, asking not to be identified.
The Nigerian Defense Ministry had, on Wednesday, said
that Shekau was dead and that one Bashir Mohammed,
killed during recent clashes with troops, was a lookalike
who had been impersonating him in videos.
The announcement makes it the first time that the
military high command will be confirming the death of
Shekau, after refusing to validate two previous claims
from police and a regional task force in 2009 and 2013.
But analysts have also dismissed the report, saying it
was a propaganda. The State Department official
equally maintained that Boko Haram was still carrying
out attacks.
The official held that the United States remains
committed in trying to find some 200 schoolgirls
kidnapped by the militant group in April, which he
acknowledged was “a huge challenge” stressing that
“many of them were taken into the forest and given the
long time in the hands of the terrorists, it is possible
that many of them have been taken to other locations."

I don't believe it either

The same way we are sceptical about them killing and hurriedly depositing the body of Osama bin Laden (the world's most wanted man fa) in the ocean.

They are jealous our gallant soldiers did it without there demonic help.

If they're still doubting, let obama come to borno if una no go carry im corpse go back to US

Always coming from same set of race that believes nothing good comes from Africa

The

OBAMA, a symbol of Africa's failures, that even when an African was opportune to rule the white racists hegemony, they where still able to instill their hate and anti African sentiments in him, OBAMA is a failure as a African man, but a success as a American. Let that African boy stop pretending that he is concerned about his people (africa) as we ve already seen that he is more concerned about his European and Jewish masters.did OBAMA even see the picture of his middle eastern brother OSAMA when he died, they didn't but in the face of overwhelming evidence the American slave from Africa (obama) have chosen to discredit the capability of Africans. Obama! Never look down on anybody unless you want to bring them up
