Family confirms Abul Qaqa II (Boko Haram spokesman) killed
The purportedly slain Boko Haram’s new spokesman, Mohammed Auwal better known as Abu Qaqa II, hailed from Tudun Wada area of Kontagora town in Niger State, a resident of Kontagora said yesterday.
Qaqa II became Boko Haram’s spokesman after the arrest of the former Qaqa in January by security operatives. The resident of the town, who craved for anonymity, told Daily Trust in Minna yesterday that Auwal’s father, who is known as Mohammed Goma, received the news of the death of his son on Saturday.
Mohammed Auwal, according to a source, was a tailor in Kaduna and he was never known to have any suspicious character let alone becoming a member of the sect.
The family of Abu Qaqa II was informed via a phone call that he was arrested in Kaduna where he was later believed to have been killed. It was learnt that Auwal’s father was devastated following the news of his son’s death because the deceased was the family’s bread winner.
