ABUJA, Feb. 20– Nigeria’s army chief Tukur Buratai on Sunday
ordered troops to capture the leader of terror group Boko Haram, alive or
dead.
Buratai said the military operation aimed at clearing remnants of Boko
Haram from their stronghold in the northeast region has come to the end,
except the capturing of Abubakar Shekau, who is both the spiritual head and
supreme commander of the terror group. “We must move across to wherever
this criminal, Shekau, is and catch him red-handed. I want you to get him,”
the army chief charged the troops in Camp Zairo, previously the largest
camp of Boko Haram in the northern state of Borno. Last year, Buratai gave
troops a 40-day ultimatum to capture Shekau but they failed in the bid.
Last Thursday, the army offered a bounty of 8,310 U.S. dollars on Shekau’s
head. The military said it had chased the terrorist leader out of Camp
Zairo since December 2016. The Nigerian army said it has “reliable
information” that Shekau now disguises as a woman in his attempt to escape
from the theater of operation by troops.Boko Haram has been trying since
2009 to establish an Islamic state in northeastern Nigeria, killing some
20,000 people and forcing displacement of millions of others. – XINHUA
