ISIS won’t get $7m bounty placed on Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau – US

The US State Department has said Boko Haram faction of Islamic State in West Africa Province will not get the $7 million bounty it placed on Abubakar Shekau, leader of the Boko Haram sect.

The State Department in a tweet shared in the late hours of yesterday May 20, said the bounty is not meant for a group under ISIS.

The tweet read; 

“News reports today indicate that Boko Haram terrorist Abubakar Shekau blew himself up in a confrontation with ISIS affiliates. Hey, ISIS guys. To clarify: no – you are not eligible for the reward for information on his identity or location. That’s not how the program works.”
