Boko Haram supremacy battle: Shekau loses grounds to Albarnawi faction
Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has reportedly lost grounds to Abu Mus’ab Albarnawi after days of clashes between the two terrorists factions in remote areas of Borno State, Daily Trust reliably gathered.
Some locals who have already fled the areas described the new development as “battle of supremacy between Shekau and Albarnawi.”
Both factions have holed up in remote areas from where they occasionally emerge to launch attacks on military formations.
