Following the renewed efforts and the crackdown on the terrorists by the Nigerian Army troops, there is occasional infighting within the camps of Boko haram and ISWAP that culminated into the death of many commanders,giving rise to tension, chaos, suspension and distrust within the camps.
This, according to the reliable source, has caused a lot of apprehension and struggle as to who will emerge the commanders of the two camps.
Recalled that, both Boko haram and ISWAP have suffered a physical and major blow as both camps lost their commanders, rendering them incapacitated as well as causing castatrophe.
The extermination of key commanders and fighters across Boko Haram and ISWAP groups, specifically the extermination of Muhammad Shuwa, Abu – Mossad Albarnawee and Baa Idirisa on February 9, 2020, led to a brewing and deepening suspicion, suspense and distrust in Abubakar Shekau’s camp.
The test and struggle for supremacy amongst the groups specifically the Abubakar Shakau terrorists’ group has created palpable tension, suspicion and distrust which led to most of his key commanders and fighters to desert or dump him and are secretly planning to execute him.
A highly reliable source, has it that some of his key commanders under the leadership of mallam Bakura have been constantly planing to kill Shekau because of what a source from the terrorists’ camp described as his high handedness, erratic disposition, mental inbalance and non adherence to pristine Islamic tenets or the original BHTs’ doctrine and Ideology.
They further accused him of serial clandestine killings of some terrorists Commanders that he viewed as threats to his despotic leadership.
Reliable source also revealed that Shekau has uncontrollable mad desire for women including his fellow jihadists’ women and daughters, a behaviour that does not go down well with his group members.
All these according to a source has increasingly alienated him from some of his high profile commanders that are now surreptitiously planing to eliminate him. “it is just a matter of time that Shekau will be no more” – said a source close to the deadly group.
Latest information from yet to be confirmed sources had it that Shekau has been eliminated by his detractors who are aversed to his inordinate lust for raping women and under aged girls including those married to his fellow jihadists fighters.
His penchant for the use of girl child for suicide bombings has been a great issue of concern in the terrorists’ camp, credible source says.
The major point of disagreement between the two camps lies in what a source described as Anti Islamic activities and indiscriminate killing of people whether moslem or Christians, children or adults including raping women who are married or unmarried.
These problems are according to the source, are compounded because of the increasing operational activities and the renewed foresight and efforts of Nigerian troops and the multi national joint task force that are committed in ending the terrorist activities in northern east part of the country.
