General Info:
Abubakar Shekau (also known by his alias Darul Tawheed), thought to be born between 1965 and 1975, is a Kanuri man known as the leader of Boko Haram, a Nigerian militant Islamist group that has declared loyalty to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). He served as deputy leader to the group’s founder, Mohammed Yusuf, until Yusuf was executed in 2009.

Nigerian authorities believed that Shekau was killed in 2009 during clashes between security forces and Boko Haram until July 2010, when Shekau appeared in a video claiming leadership of the group.

He has subsequently been reported dead with regularity, and is thought to use body doubles. In March 2015, Shekau pledged allegiance to the Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghadi. Shekau is not a Salafi. He has been described as possessing a photographic memory.
