Video: The leaked revelations that led to the execution of Ya’Sharu, Boko Haram’s top cleric

By: Zagazola Makama

A leaked video has surfaced where a top cleric of the Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād (Boko Haram) group was paraded over an alleged felony before he was executed.

Ya Sharu was heard berating the leadership of Boko Haram and informing other members that they were misleading the religion of Allah.

Ya Sharu said, “Martyrs, see what Mallam Ali, Alai Ari, and Abba have prepared, including those in authority; they are all the same, including Man-sabiku; they are deceiving the religion of Allah.

“They told Mallam Ali (Ari Hajja Fusambe) to gather guns after this road, but apart from the only big one in KoltaFargi (Gaizuwa), there was nothing; they (ISWAP) seized the weapons.

“And they also directed that scholars and the knowledgeable clerics be killed one by one and that they should not be killed physically but to explore other tactics and say they were killed while fighting war or judgment inflicted on themselves and got killed. This is what they say and are planning to do. That’s why I informed you.”.

Ya Sharu was from Mafoni and a resident of Maiduguri before joining the terror organization. He was one of the respected clerics who commanded the voice of his followers. However, like other fighters, he too had discovered that the Boko Haram sect was nothing but a fraud and devilish enterprise. He was determined to form severe links with the group.

He had earlier taken his wife and children out of the forest. But while he was making efforts to surrender, his audio was busted, and he was caught and summarily executed by his former allies.

Zagazola learned that the terror group was particularly painful because Sharu was able to leak their strength and capability. He had revealed that Boko Haram had only one big gun and just about two Hilux vehicles in Gaizuwa on the Bama axis.

Zulum Visits Families of 63 Borno Residents Killed by Boko Haram

By: Michael Mike

Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum has visited Darajamal, a community in Bama, to condole with families of the 63 people killed by Boko Haram insurgents on Friday night.

The victims comprise 5 soldiers and about 58 civilians that were earlier displaced by the insurgents but have been resettled in Darajamal for two months now.

Zulum, visibly moved by the incident, met with community leaders and consoled the bereaved families. He expressed grief and condemned the brutal attack in the strongest terms.

Speaking to newsmen, the governor said, “We are here to commiserate with the people of Darajamal over what happened last night that has claimed the lives of many people. It is very sad. This community was settled a few months ago and they go about their normal activities, but unfortunately, they experienced Boko Haram attack last night. Our visit is to commiserate with them and build their resilience.”

On the casualties, the Governor said, “at this moment we have confirmed that 63 people lost their lives, both civilians and military, although the civilian casualties are more. Close to about 60 civilians and 5 soldiers lost their lives.”

Governor Zulum, while noting the challenges faced in the fight against insecurity, also called for the immediate deployment of the newly trained Forest Guards to complement the military in safeguarding vulnerable communities.

He said, “We have to take note that the numerical strength of the military is not enough to cover everywhere, so far so good, two sets of Forest Guards have been trained, therefore one of the solutions that we need to implement immediately is to deploy the trained Forest Guards to most of the locations that are vulnerable, they will protect the forest and communities.”

Also, the Senator representing Borno Central, Kaka Shehu Lawan, whose constituency Darajamal falls under, has condemned the attack, describing it as a crime against humanity.

He expressed his commitment to supporting Governor Babagana Umara Zulum through legislative backing to restore peace in Borno State.
