The notorious leader of Islamist terror group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has been seriously injured, with some reporting he is dead after trying to blow himself up, according to intelligence sources.
Shekau, the man behind the Chibok schoolgirl kidnapping in 2014, tried to kill himself to avoid capture when a rival group supported by the Islamic State surrounded him on Wednesday, sources told AFP.
In a confidential briefing leaked to Nigerian media and seen by The Daily Telegraph, the country's intelligence services said: "Shekau detonated a bomb and killed himself when he observed that the ISWAP fighters wanted to capture him alive."
But an intelligence source told AFP Shekau had managed to escape with some men after the attack.
