America, on Saturday, confirmed that the leader of the dreaded Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, is, indeed, dead.
Hundreds of lives have been lost to the activities of the terrorist
group led by Shekau in parts of North East, Nigeria and...
other parts of
the country.
The Council on Foreign Relations, a top US security think-tank and
government advisory, made this confirmation after a thorough
investigation.
It said it is apparent that the latest video appearance of Shekau was faked.
"In this latest 33 second video, Shekau was even further from the
camera and only appeared to speak for just 10 seconds. The latest
video, released on Youtube, is perhaps the biggest sham in the history
of terrorism media: Latest 10 Second Sham Video of Blurry Ghost of
Late Shekau," the US security think-tank observed.
It said that "this latest sham video clip is very identical to the
August video which was also circulated by AFP, "which US Council on
Foreign relations discredited as that of an imposter, except it has a
black drape over the old background and Shekau's image appears to have
green-light peripheral shine around it, indicating super-imposition."
The report said that the older video was also of highly questionable
authenticity, adding: "It appears 'Shekau' did not wish to risk
thorough investigation of 'his' video clips and hence, he made it as
blurry, as distant from the camera and as short as possible. 10
seconds only, enough time to say 5 words and quickly brush his ghost
teeth!"
Sometimes when people insult GEJ on the social media, I don't blame them them cos we really do have a clueless president. At the last Presidential Media Chat with some select members of the press (probably from NTA), Goodluck Jonathan was asked if Shekau was alive or dead. His response was that he doesn't know, he even went as far as telling the lady that asked the question that "the press know more than him". A Nigerian High School student can analyse that video and tell if it was authentic or not (with a laptop and the required software). I will do my duty as a Christian and keep praying for him.
