according to: https://www.africanews.com/2025/08/22/niger-armed-forces-kill-boko-haram-leader-bakoura/ the current leader has been killed JaxsonR (talk) 16:15, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

nvm, just read his page and saw that they have no evidence of his death. my bad JaxsonR (talk) 16:16, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On the article, the maintenance tag says {{Use British English}}, but on this talk page, the editnotice at the top says that “[t]his article is written in Nigerian English.” The spellings listed on the Nigerian English editnotice are colour, realise, travelled, and centre. The {{British English}} editnotice states more spellings like defense, artefact, and analyse. On the article, I’ve already changed the spellings that need to be changed (i.e. the spellings that British and Nigerian English have in common but not American English). 2604:3D08:9476:BE00:DCDC:DE79:5228:7D8A (talk) 05:00, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is no official confirmation from Boko Haram regarding this, the article that picked it up provided no evidence. It's also very unlikely for an alleged Salafi group that excommunicates IS, a far more extreme group than the Taliban, on basis of being too lax in excommunication, would pledge allegiance to a Sufi Maturidi group.

there are multiple articles in the boko haram topic, but two in particular (this and another with similar title) which appear to be cut/pasted overlapping versions that should be consolidated by those with the right Wikipedia privileges. FAdelabu (talk) 05:46, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
