There are reports, however, that Shekau suffered heavy bruises from the multiple offensives which have so far consumed some of his top generals. Military authorities reveal that Shekau's body language is that of one ready to surrender. “If you talk about body language, the body language is there. If he makes any move in that regard, you will know but from the onslaught from troops, they can’t hide anymore," Coordinator of the Directorate of Defence Media Operations (DDMO), Major General John Enenche, said. Although the military added that there was no official contact with the terror leader yet, Nigerians have kicked against such move, calling on the troops to finish him once and for all. However, Oladimeji, who is a popular businessman in his neighbourhood wants Shekau captured alive.
