The US authorities have declared Abubakar Shekau, the
leader of Jama’atu Ahl as-Sunnah il-Da’awati wal-Jihad, better known as Boko
Haram, a wanted man.
And they are placing a $7 million bet he will be found, to be given away to anyone who can provide information leading to his arrest.
Analysts say the placement of large sum of money as bounty by the United States government reflects a new dimension to US government involvement to hunt down Mr. Shekau and his close aides, and of Shekau’s connections.
The US seems confident it can narrow the corridors of safety for Shekau, as many international bounty hunters can activate their networks in other to collect the bounty.
