There has been a
crack in the camp of Nigerian’s dreaded sect group Boko Haram, which also lead
to the over-throw/change in leadership of the group. As an affiliate of ISIS,
the Islamic state, ISIS
on Wednesday, August 3, announced Abu Musab al-Barnawi, as the new leader of
Boko Haram.
The emergence of Abu
Musab al-Barnawi, a former spokesman for the group as leader, has been
described as an act of betrayal by the group’s former leader, Abubakar Shekau.
Shekau, in the
10-minute 23-second audio message in Arabic and Hausa said he was deceived, but
he will never stray from the ideology of the Jama’atu Ahl as-Sunnah li-Da’awati
wal-Jihad which he said had a basis in the Quran.
Now my question is
why the division among this group? Why was Abubakar Shekau ousted out? Looking
at the whole scenarios, we can authoritatively say that these following facts
may be the cause.
a.This opposition to ISIS from taking full control of book haram, is the biggest reason he was toppled as the leader of the group. After the group pledged allegiance to ISIS, Shekau still wanted to keep a tight grip on the sect. He rejected ISIS from training his men.

b. The present leader
of the group, Abu Musab al-Barnawi is believe to be a descendant of late
Mohammed Yusuf, the founder of Boko Haram who was unlawfully murdered by the
Nigerian police in 2009. By their law the thrown is rightfully his….Lol, you go
fear kingship.
c. Abubakar Shekau,
has been accused by some group member of straying from the ideology of the
group which is to create an Islamic caliphate in West Africa.
d. He has also
accused of killing member of the sect and their family, over little allegations
without proper investigations.
The Nigerian Army
however, said “that they are not
interested in the change of mantle of the sect, that their job is to get rid of
them all”.
We are watching how
this change will materialized in the following days. Peace…
