A Major General and Defence spokesperson, John Enenche, has said that they have evidence to prove that Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has been killed, but admitted there are many Shekaus.
Speaking in an interview with Osasu Igbinedion on The Osasu Show, Enenche said Boko Haram has been defeated, but stressed that total peace can never be achieved in the North East yet
“Insurgents and terrorists had total control over some local governments, they were already collecting taxes as government, but now it is no longer so. They have been defeated, there is a level of security in Nigeria, but does that mean there is no armed robbery in Nigeria? If you study sociology, criminality, crime and all these vices are part of human living.
“There is no total peace anywhere in the world, and it can never exist. It is normal, it is a usual abnormality that comes with human existence.”
“The evidence that we have that any Shekau that ever eliminated has been eliminated is as a result of our after action report. When you attack an area and there were individuals there from your intelligence, surveillance and recconaisance report, and now you take out that place and there’s nothing left, that is an evidence.
“Anything can be uploaded, there is no forensic evidence that can say this. There are many Shekaus, there are various Shekaus, which is my strong belief.
“A Shekau is still alive, people keep posing as Shekaus, but who knows the real Shekau? Only the indigenes and the poeple that are there, and people like carrying big names, that is why we keep knocking out any Shekau that comes up,” he said.
