His words: “We started this non-kinetic approach 16th months ago, the model started shortly after the death of Abubakar Shekau and the state government didn’t want the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) to continue using the Shekau’s fighters; we know it would be deadly.
“So, the first of fighter that I received in Bama told me that Shekau had 83 concubines, just imagine he left behind 83 concubines.”
Shekau is now in hellfire Further speaking of the late notorious Boko Haram fighter, Ishaq said Shekau’s associate said that he (Shekau) is now in hellfire.
He added that the repentant Boko Haram fighters giving details said Shekau made it to hell fire because he killed himself during a clash with the faction terrorist group.
According to them, Shekau’s action contradicts what he preached to the members of his terrorist group.
He said: “He always told them go out and fight, if they die in the process several virgins are waiting for them.”
He further added that many fighters regretted their actions, saying Shekau misled them. He added that many of the fighters did not know how to perform ablution.
He noted: “I can tell you that many of these fighters don’t know how to perform simple ablution not to talk of how to do prayers. We had to start teaching them after we brought them to Maiduguri.”
