The Boko Haram leader with many lives, Abubakar Shekau, has allegedly released a new video where he surrendered and advised his followers to do same.
In a statement on Thurday, the Nigeria military said it is subjecting a purported new video from leader of the Boko Haram sect to forensic examinations in order to ascertain its authenticity.
A top military officer however disclosed that: “the ongoing campaign against insurgency and indeed Boko Haram is being intensified most especially in the Sambisa forest, and its environs in order to further degrade and demystify the sect and bring them to their knees.
“We are aware of the video but we are subjecting it to thorough forensic investigation. We won’t take any action that can stop the ongoing offensives against the terrorists in all fronts. Every terrorist is free to surrender.
“While the military is conscious of sustaining the tempo on its war against terrorism, the military intelligence will subject the undated and unverified video to forensic analyses.” The officer concluded.
