The Department of State Security (DSS) have rubbished the recent video purportedly “released” by Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau saying the amateur replica cloned everything wrongly.
According to their analysis, the Department of State Security observed certain procedures usually followed by the Boko Haram kingpin was not adhered to.
The analysis noted that “Shekau in previous video appearances would start with a recitation of a full verse of the Quran that sometimes could last up to five minutes. The stand-in Shekau did not observe this sequence”.
The DSS further alleged that “in previous occasions when Shekau spoke, he had always never been interrupted by any background hail quite unlike what happened in the recent video.
The security agency further said that “watching the recent video, one would notice that the movement of “Shekau’s lips” did not synchronise with the words as pronounced, apparently betraying a recorded message inefficiently manipulated to sustain a non-existent continuum in leadership, now in disarray”.
“Even at that, his attempt to mimick Shekau’s voice during the opening stanza soon gave in, and the impostor reverted to his real voice. The intonation was different as well as the fact that Abubakar Shekau does not drag his voice” they said.
Their analysis also revealed that “Shekau even said that a dead woman -Margaret Thatcher, and Oladipo Diya rejoiced over his (Shekau’s) death” wondering “How did these add up to strengthen his case? One is dead and the other had left government long before the advent of Boko Haram”.
They maintained that the “Fact is Abubakar Shekau was shot, critically injured and evacuated by his lieutenants to a conventional hospital outside Nigeria” insisting that “If he survived, time will tell”.
