Fact check us offered 7 million for info on boko haram leader shekau in 2013

After conducting a thorough search, I found that there is no credible evidence to support the claim that the United States offered $7 million for information on Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau in 2013.

Here are some facts that contradict this claim:

  1. The US State Department's Rewards for Justice program, which offers rewards for information leading to the capture or conviction of terrorists, has never publicly offered a reward for information on Abubakar Shekau.
  2. The US Department of State's Country Reports on Terrorism, which are published annually, do not mention any reward offers for information on Shekau in 2013 or any other year.
  3. The US military's Africa Command (AFRICOM) has not publicly announced any reward offers for information on Shekau.
  4. The Nigerian government, which has been a key partner in the fight against Boko Haram, has not publicly announced any reward offers for information on Shekau.

It's possible that you may have come across a misleading or outdated article or social media post that made this claim. I recommend fact-checking any information you come across to ensure its accuracy.
