In a video that went viral last week, Shekau was reported to have asked his followers to sheathe their swords, surrender and embrace peace.

However, the defence headquarters (DHQ) warned the public not to be deceived by the video, saying the military would continue with its operations against insurgents in spite of the purported remorse.
