BNL said that Shekau seems to have many lives and resurrects whenever he dies, adding that if Shekau actually died, there was no need for the government to rejoice because the military failed to kill or capture him.
BNL said “there is no lesson to learn from the alleged death of Shekau,” adding that “Boko Haram is a small group in Borno, whereas Biafra is a nation.
