In the onslaught that saw Boko Haram fall to the fire power of Chadian government forces,  a top Boko Haram commander was captured while thousands of their weapons were confiscated by the Chadian Army at their weapon warehouse.  

Meanwhile, Shekau said, “People of Chad, leave us alone, this operation is not approved by the Qur’an. It is not the will of the Prophet Muhammed but if you want to continue, God will help us too because he is bigger than you.

“To my fighters, take heart. It is I, Abubakar Shekau, your leader.”
