ON OUR WAR AGAINST TERROR : Shekau is dead: Security agencies release report, rubbish claims on video

Shekau is dead: Security agencies release report, rubbish claims on video
The Joint Task Force (JTF) have rubbished claims which indicated that the leader of the dreaded Islamic militant sect, Boko Haram, Mallam Abubakar Shekau was still alive after a careful study of a supposed video on the resurfacing of the militant leader.
A report put together by the team of investigators on behalf of the security agencies said that the investigators have been able to fault the video in "a number of ways."
A careful analysis of the last video said to have been made available to authorities indicated that Shekau was cloned.
The report indicated that it was unlike Shekau, who in previous video appearances would start with a recitation of a full verse of the Holy Quran that sometimes could last up to five minutes but noticed that the stand-in Shekau in the video never observed that tradition.
It was also deduced that in previous occasions, Shekau's speech was never interrupted by hailing from the background and that the last video had such features.
The investigations by the JTF was also said to have identified that the movement on the lips of the man presented as Shekau in the video did not synchronise with the words he pronounced, an indication according to the report of "a recorded message inefficiently manipulated to sustain a non-existent continuum in leadership."
The report according to the sources also indicated that following the failure of the alleged attempt to mimic Shekau's voice in the opening part of the video, alleged stand-in Shekau reverted to his real voice.
"The intonation was different as well as the fact that Abubakar Shekau does not drag his voice," the analysis further stated.
The real location of the militant leader is yet to be ascertained by the security forces, but there are strong indications within the forces that Shekau is not alive.
