The Boko Haram factional leader, Abubakar Shekau, is considering a ceasefire with the Nigerian government, credible intelligence sources in the North-East Theatre of Operations told The Vanguard.

The source told the newspaper that Mr Shekau had started making frantic efforts to seek a soft landing as he prepares to surrender.

According to the source, the Boko Haram leader has started reaching out to some International Non-Governmental Organizations for a deal with the Nigerian government towards granting him amnesty.

“I think the end of Boko Haram is coming close as Abubakar Shekau has been making overtures through proxies for a soft landing for him to surrender to the Nigerian authorities.

“He has been desperate about it, and the intensity is occasioned with the avalanche of coordinated operations launched in recent times against the group, especially in the Timbuktu triangle,” the source said.

The source further added that in recent times the Boko Haram group had suffered casualties that put the group in a tight corner.

According to him, the gap is closing in on Abubakar Shekau as it stands.

“The series of coordinated attacks on their hideouts has made it impossible for any escape as the military has been attacking from several flanks, and any attempt to escape now is virtually impossible.”

“The Chief of Army Staff has given an order that Abubakar Shekau is captured alive. The Chief has been in Borno State and there is a likelihood that he is going to be around for a long period given his body language of not leaving anything to chance in this critical operation,” the source added.

The newspaper also gathered that the Boko Haram group had also reached out to some International Non-Governmental Organizations to seek a deal with the Nigerian government towards granting amnesty to it.

A top staffer of one of the NGOs (name withheld) confirmed that on several occasions, Mr Shekau had sent emissaries to their organization to help secure an amnesty deal with the government of Nigeria.

“We were shocked in the initial stages, thinking it was a hoax. But this continued, and we were left with no choice than to inform the security agencies in a bid to protect ourselves.”

Fake news shekau that I know will rader die than to consider ceasefire

Same BH the Nigerian army have technically defeated or terribly down graded long time ago? Same government that is granting BH amnesty? This must be a costly joke.The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.Shakau is not ready for this charade now.

Audio Ceasefire

Kudos to chad!!!

Until i see images like that of by the Chadian military... I choose to be sceptical.
My respect only goes to our gallant foot soldiers for holding the forth this long while their generals grow pot-bellies.

If you believe an Islamic terrorist would cease fire, ion know what to say to you

See what Chad has led them to...

That it is better to surrender to Nigeria than to Chad ..cos he can also become a general in Nigeria army in the near future after being granted presidential amnesty and pardon.....

Perhaps he caught corona virus and needs ventilating.

Aha, so you know him!?

middlebelter:


Aha, so you know him!?

Yep

If Shekau is interested in a surrendering, FG should immediately accept his surrender. However, it must be an unconditional surrender. After surrendering, Shekau should be immediately arrested, tried and hanged in an open market in Maiduguri.

Ajibade123:

you know Shekau??

Yes he used to come to our house for tea, I know right whatever u posted on nairaland Is been recorded. I swear I know shekau

Thank you Tchad

If these preplaned lies turned out to be true, then the credit should go to Chadian armed forces. Terrorists only fear govts that slaughters terrorist, not regimes that grant Amnesty to terrorists.
ONE NIGERIA IS DEAD!

I know you're butt hurt over this news and your greatest pain would be to see this government triumph over Boko Haram.

If you pdp supporters like them so much, why dont you simply take up arms and fight alongside them? That should count for more than simply supporting them online.
