A statement from the Nigerian Army reacting to Boko Haram leader Ibrahim Shekau’s apparently remorseful video, asks members of the public not to be carried away by the video clips, but instead to be extra vigilant and security conscious at all times during Easter celebration and beyond.
There have been mixed reactions to the video – while some Nigerians think Ibrahim Shekau is truly remorseful and welcome the video, others say the video may have been a coded message to Boko Haram cells to do something big, and the Army seems to think so too.
Shekau was deadly during his time
The only man who was killed multiple times by the Nigerian government until he was finally killed by a rival terrorist group.
