The comments were made by Director of Defence Information, General Rabe Abubakar while speaking to IB Times UK.
“We are not fighting Shekau, we are fighting against Boko Haram. The military is not concerned or bothered about what Shekau said,” he said.
“Whether he is quitting or not, the offensive will continue until there are no Boko Haram remnants left. We will not leave any stone unturned,” he added.
The Boko Haram leader, who spoke in Arabic and Hausa, is also said to have called on his followers to surrender.
