Fragmentation and schism is reported to have percolated into the camp of Boko Haram. Just like many factional groups in Nigeria, leadership dispute remains one of the myriad factors that contribute to the enfeeblement and polarisation of a group and it's survival.
According to the BBC news website, Abubakar Shekau has declared that he is still in charge of Nigeria's militant Islamist group despite a statement by so-called Islamic State that he had been replaced.
Abubakar Shekau denounced the IS declaration that Abu Musab al-Barnawi was now leader.
Shekau accused al-Barnawi of trying to stage a coup against him.
