The Nigerian journalist known to have access to top commanders of the Boko Haram sect, Ahmad Salkida, has debunked claims by the Chadian President, Idris Derby, that the dreaded Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau has been dethroned and replaced with a certain Mahamat Daoud.
Salkida insisted that Abubakar Shekau is alive and still presides over the affairs of the notorious group. He noted that the Chadian leader was lying, stressing that the same was how he misled former president, Goodluck Jonathan into entering a botched peace deal with the sect.
Using his Twitter handle: @ContactSalkida, the journalist posted yesterday that: “Idris Deby is wrong now as before when he deceived Fmr President, Jonathan into phantom negotiation. Shekau is alive and leads ISWAP or BH”
If Salkida is to be believed, where is Shekau?
