Boko Haram-ISIS deal: Shekau could be replaced

By -

News from TheCable suggests that Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau's rule as Boko Haram leader may have come to an end with Abubakar Bagdadi taking the helm of command for the insurgents. 

An insurgent interviewed said, "Shekau's self-governance has ended on Saturday, the 7th of March 2015." 

This was precipitated, we read, with a long internal disagreement within the Jihadi movements in Africa about the depth of knowledge Shekau is furnished with. 

Due to his 'hastiness' we read, followers of Shekau's predecessor, Mohammed Yusuf, had opted out of the group in the past. These 'defectors' we read, had then moved on to join ISIS in Libya and other places. 

" Sources knowledgeable with the activities of the ruthless insurgents in Nigeria hinted that what we are seeing is a methodological transformation of Boko Haram into a well-organised terror and propaganda machine that may not only appeal to the deprived in society but even the well-off and people from different nationalities. 

"Baghdadi may choose to even change the Imam in Nigeria if he so wishes or send permanent emissaries or teachers to guide what is now the local Boko Haram Shura, said multiple sources. Insiders insist that “the emissaries by Bagdadi are already here with us, they are making a lot of changes that I cannot share but we have started seeing the impact of our Bay’ah”. 

"But just what is Bay’ah and the implications to the four countries fighting Boko Haram? Bay’ah, according to some Sunni Islamic scholars, can only be offered to the leader of the Muslims. Once allegiance is offered, as in the case of Boko Haram to IS, it is accepted because the leader that is being offered Bay’ah assumes total and absolute authority over his subjects, except these subjects were to discover that the actions of the leader contradicted their kind of beliefs.
