Boko Haram: Buratai writes Shekau, asks him to surrender now

Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has warned leader of the dreaded Boko Haram sect to either surrender his arms and embrace peace or face perdition.

The army chief gave this warning via a poem he released on Thursday.

Buratai, in a poem he penned to the kingpin of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau, said it would be best for him to surrender as there would be no escape for him.

The poem entitled ‘End of the Road’, warned Shekau that the era of his deceit and fake ideologies were over and that he must surrender because all his foot soldiers and ‘foolish’ pawns have abandoned him.

Read the poem here:

‘End Of The Road’ – TY Buratai
“It’s time to surrender
The deceit is over
Fake ideology preached no more
Surrender before the patient birds
Hovering above you ready to land

Easy prey you are today Shekau
Your foot guards perished
Your foolish pawns escaped
Abandoned you to your follies and perils

Victorious troops celebrate
The pride of the Nation
Never again for peace to elude
Our land of honour to rise greater than before.”
