The leader of Nigerian militant Islamist group Boko Haram is dead, according to reports.
News agency Reuters said it had heard an audio recording made by Boko Haram's rivals The Islamic State West African Province (ISWAP), which said Abubakar Shekau died around 18 May.
He died after detonating an explosive device, according to a person on the recording who identified himself as ISWAP leader Abu Musab al Barnawi.
Al Barnawi said his fighters had sought the warlord on orders of Islamic State leadership, chasing him and offering him the chance to repent and join them.
"Shekau preferred to be humiliated in the afterlife than getting humiliated on Earth, and he killed himself instantly by detonating an explosive.
"Abubakar Shekau, God has judged him by sending him to heaven," he added.
Shekau has been reported as dead on numerous occasions, only to later appear in videos.

ISWAP? They do realize they sound like a flea market don’t they?
Leave it to the Nigerians to do something so brilliant as name a terror org after a flea market.

Am I the only person who hears “A Whiter Shade of Pale” every time these terrorists make the news?
Took a long time to find enough of their departed leader to stage the opening scene of “The Big Chill.”
