Fatima, the mother of Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram, has opened up on his whereabout.
According to Fatima, who spoke with Voice of America Hausa, she has not seen her son in 15-years. Fatima added this happened after Shekau met with Mohammed Yusuf, founder of the sect.
In her words;
“I don’t know whether he is dead or alive, only God knows. I have not seen him in the last 15 years. I did not set my eyes on him since he came into contact with Mohammed Yusuf. I know he is my son, and everyone knows a mother’s love for her son, but our attitude to life is different… He has thrown many people into disasters. Where can I find him to draw his attention? He has thrown many people into violence, but I ask God to guide me” she said
