Standup9ja: FG: Why we have not captured Shekau
Leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau has not been
captured because the insurgents usually put on masks to conceal their identities,
Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali has said.
Speaking to State House reporters yesterday after briefing
President Muhammadu Buhari on the security situation in the country, Dan-Ali
said “Let me tell you categorically, these insurgents, have a way of putting on
mask. There could be so many, but we’re looking for the real one, he (Shekau)
has been using mask to portray Shekau in one incident or the other to give an
impression that he has been killed so that we’ll relax, but we’ll not relax,
we’re on him.”
The minister said those who had been to Sambisa forest would
know that the sect has been defeated saying “We’ve dominated the whole
stronghold where they used to be, that is where we call camp zero where their
spiritual and their strong headquarters that they were using as communication
base was destroyed and as at the same time occupied by our men.
“I believe it is just a matter of time. It took America
about seven to ten years to get Osama Bin Laden. So, we will get Shekau as soon
as possible.”
