Death of Shekau and Rise of Zamira

In August 2013, Ibrahim announced that the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau had been deposed by factions within the group due to his "harsh" methods. Ibrahim claimed that Shekau had been given a choice to "[join] the peace dialogue with the Nigerian government, [form] his own sect or [be killed]." Ibrahim further announced the ascension of Abu Zamira Mohammed to the position that Shekau had occupied.[2]
