Emerging reports had earlier suggested that jihadist sect Boko Haram had surrendered following the discovery of video footage from the group, but a contrary opinion has surfaced.
According to a video, released online, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau could be seen advising his followers to “surrender to save themselves”.
Although the footage appears to show a defeated Shekau surrendering power, contrary opinions have emerged from analysts who have reviewed the video.
According to a Naij report, analysts believe that Shekau is not relinquishing power but instead using the video to let his followers know that he is alive, contrary to several media reports.
