WHY WE ARE YET TO CAPTURE SHEKAU – DHQ

The Nigerian Military on Friday gave reasons why the elusive Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has not been captured despite a huge manhunt and the capture of Camp Zero in Sambisa forest.
The Director of Defence Information, Major Gen. John Eneche,  who spoke at a press forum in Abuja, admitted that there was a mix-up on the information about the capture or death of the Boko Haram leader because of the various faces used by Shekau.
The Defence spokesman also said although the” real Shekau” has not been captured, the military is on the hunt for him and would soon capture him.

Eneche: “There were so many Shekau faces, that was what was responsible for that but we will get the real thing, we have now come to know that the real Shekau is yet to be apprehended, so that is the truth, when Osama Bin Ladin was killed, they went further to do a DNA test, that was what happened. The truth is because of so many faces of Shekau that came up, that was what brought up the mix up. But it is truth the real Shekau is yet to be apprehended and we will get him.”
Eneche also gave an account of military operations in Nigeria, saying the Nigerian military has done well.
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria has been able to decimate and degrade the Boko Haram terrorists from their activities to splinter acts of terrorism here and there mostly within Borno State.  Currently, clearance operation is ongoing jointly by the Armed Forces to eliminate both active and passive acts of terrorism in the North East.  It is worthy of note that some countries such as Britain, United States and France among others provided one form of assistance to the military in our effort so far in the North East,” he said.
Eneche also said Operation SHARAN DAJI in the Northwest has been able to curtail the activities of cattle rustlers with many of them embracing the amnesty offered by Zamfara State government.
