Deji Adeyanju, an Abuja-based rights activist, has reacted
to the death of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Ibrahim Attahiru.
Adeyanju questioned the death of Attahiru 24 hours after
dreaded Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau was reported dead.
On Thursday, reports emerged that Shekau was fatally
injured, after attempting to kill himself to avoid being captured by rival
Islamic State-allied fighters.
There are also reports that he died by blowing up himself
with a suicide vest.
However, the Nigerian Army said that it was probing the
reports indicating that Shekau was “badly injured” or “dead”.
Similarly, Attahiru was reportedly killed in a plane crash
in Kaduna.
The COAS was said to have been killed alongside 10 others
while on his way for an official assignment in Kaduna.
Reacting to both incidents, the convener of Concerned
Nigerian advocacy group wondered what was going on.
In a tweet, Adeyanju wrote: “They said Shekau was killed
yesterday. Today, the Chief of Army Staff died in a plane crash. Dear
extremists in Govt, what is going on?”
