Shekau critically ill, seeks prayers from Nigerians, says Pastor

A pastor at Anglican Church Nigeria based in Borno State, Desmond Yunana, says Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Sheaku, is critically ill and wants prayer from Nigerians.

He disclosed this while delivering a sermon in church on Sunday, saying, he had a “revelation” that the Boko Haram leader’s health condition was very bad.

He said Shekau, who needed prayers from both Christian and Muslims residents of Maiduguri, was ready to ask for forgiveness.

Yuana’s “prophecy” is coming one month after Mohammed Adam, a captured teenage fighter, said Shekau could no longer walk effectively.

Adam, 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.

The Boko Haram leader is known for taunting the military in videos but has not been seen on his feet lately as he has released video seen sitting or in some cases, using audio to pass across his message.
