The Nigerian army announced, Tuesday, that Abubakar Shekau, leader of the Boko Haram terror group, was killed in an airstrike on Friday. A spokesman said the military had only just confirmed details of the raid.
The London Express reports there was no immediate reaction from Boko Haram. The military has reported Shekau's death in the past, only to have a man purporting to be him appear later, apparently unharmed, making video statements.
