“Shekau is irrelevant to me” | Chief of Army staff

Chief of army staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai, says Boko Haram’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, is struggling to remain relevant.

The Army chief stated that the recently released audio tape was a desperate move by Shekau, to prove that he’s still a force to be reckoned with.

He said: “I think the new Boko Haram leader, in the latest audio is just trying to sound relevant; but as far as I am concerned, he is irrelevant in the scheme of things, he is irrelevant to me.

“Have you seen any of them coming out apart from the suicide bombings? You can see the number of terrorists that are escaping from their camps; he is just making noise to remain relevant.”

“Sunday’s bomb blast will be among those that will be the last, you can be counting them, it has opened up another window where we can now focus where these attacks are coming from.

“It will not be possible for them to penetrate other areas; for now we have knocked them off areas along from Yobe and some parts of Borno.

“Immediately this incident happened yesterday, I gave directive and we will comb that area thoroughly to identify where they are operating from.”
