Boko Haram: Uncertainty in Northeast over death of Shekau, rise of Bakura Modu

Last month, the Nigerian military said it was investigating Shekau’s alleged death, but a month after the claim that Shekau blew himself, the military is yet to officially communicate further on its investigation into the death of the terrorists spiritual leader, who was a terrorist leader in the northeast region for almost 12 years.

Sheakau himself confirmed the heavy casualties from his side from a week-long battle with ISWAP fighters. It was also gathered that, a few hours after the recording, Shekau realized that he was surrounded and that several of his men deliberately retreated to give easy access to the ISWAP fighters who were determined to capture him alive.

Several people have commented on the situation and circumstances surrounding Shekau’s death, but some people still believe that Shekau may resurrect the 7th time. However, the emergence of a 24-year-old Bakura Modu in a three minutes and fifteen second video should lower the dust about Shekau as a new chapter is opened on the conflict in northeast Nigeria.

Speaking to BBC Hausa, Barrister Audu Bulama Bukarti of Tony Blair Institute for Global Change observed that, while ISWAP and Shekau’s fighters are killing themselves, now is the opportunity for the Nigeria military to attack both factions to completely destroy them. He said the death of Shekau was a heavy blow on the terrorist faction under his leadership and doubts if the new leader has the capacity to do what Shekau did during his reign of terror across the northeast region.
