Early this week, Cameroonian army told
Nigeria that they have successfully killed Abubakar Shekau, who the
leader/spokesman of the terrorist group Boko Haram.
The
army claimed they killed Shekau during a battle between Cameroon’s
troops and the insurgents in the border region of Gambaru, and went
ahead to post a photograph purported to show Shekau’s corpse on social
media.
However, after investigating Cameroon's claim, Nigerian security authorities says there are no official reports confirming whether Shekau is really dead.
