Boko Haram leader 'kills self' in fight with rival Islamists
Boko Haram's leader Abubakar Shekau killed himself in a fight against rival jihadist fighters from the Islamic State West Africa Province (Iswap) according to audio AFP obtained from the group Sunday, two weeks after reports emerged that he had died.
His death marks a major shift in Nigeria's 12-year-old jihadist insurgency that has killed more than 40,000 people and displaced around two million in the northeast.
Boko Haram has not yet officially commented on the death of their leader while the Nigerian army said it was investigating the claim.

German conservatives set for clear state election win in boost for Laschet
Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives look set for a resounding victory in a state election in eastern Germany on Sunday, in a boost to Armin Laschet, who hopes to succeed her in September's national election.
An exit poll for public broadcaster MDR had the Christian Democrats (CDU) on 36 per cent, up more than 6 points on five years ago, and far ahead of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), who were on 22.5 per cent, slightly down on the previous election.
Polls ahead of the election had placed the AfD as little as one point behind the CDU, triggering nervousness in Merkel's party, with some analysts suggesting a slender margin of victory might cost Laschet his candidacy.
