Nigeria Military: Why We Haven't Captured Shekau Despite Combing the Whole of Sambisa

The Defence Headquarters on Friday said it has not been able to capture Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau because he has many faces. 

Speaking at a Press Forum in Abuja, Director of Defence Information, Major Gen. John Eneche, admitted that there was a mix-up on the information about the capture or death of Shekau. 

“There were so many Shekau faces, that was what was responsible for that but we will get the real thing, we have now come to know that the real Shekau is yet to be apprehended, so that is the truth, when Osama Bin Ladin was killed, they went further to do a DNA test, that was what happened. 

#BBNaija: Why I Didn't Tell Bisola That TTT Is Married - Bassey

 

Former Big Brother Naija Housemate, Bassey in an exclusive interview with Linda Ikeji TV explains why he never revealed Thin Tall Tony's marital status while in the house.  

"Thin Tall Tony and I have known each other for quite a couple of months and I knew (His marital status) but I would like to base my response on the premise that I was not in Big Brother House from the first week. They both were. So I came in ehm in the second week and I already assumed that Introductions were in order. They had already said everything they had to say. Plus I heard from them that the first week they had this open session, were everybody just said things about themselves. So you would assume that everybody knows everybody at that point, I was never put in that spotlight where Bisola or anybody would ask me; "Bassey do you know this, do yo not know this? I didn't know if they spoke about it. They are friends and their friendship is really strong. It wasn't in my place. We spoke a lot, we played a lot but nothing was suggestive of that fact. But like I said, Big Brother is only a game and we cannot judge people based on that."

Nigeria's reserves stood at $29.64 billion a month ago and have risen 16.1 percent since the start of the year but are still far off their peak of $64 billion, hit in August 2008.
