A reverend of Anglican Church Nigeria based in Borno state, Desmond Yuana has disclosed that Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau is critically ill and needs prayers from Nigerians.
Reverend Yuana made this known while delivering a sermon on Sunday. According to him, he had a revelation that the Boko Haram leader’s health condition is deteriorating.
He said Shekau, who needs prayer from both Christian and Muslims residents of Maiduguri, is ready to ask for forgiveness.
Yuana’s comments comes one month after Mohammed Adam, a captured teenage fighter, said Shekau can no longer walk effectively.
Adam, who is currently in custody of the Nigerian Army, said Shekau got injured during an air bombardment on an insurgents’ camp in Tumbuktu, Sambisa forest, a Boko Haram stronghold in Borno state.
Shekau, known for taunting the military in videos, has not been seen on his feet lately as he has released video where he is seen sitting or in some cases, using audio to pass across his message.
