Nigeria's Boko Haram fracturing

Women rescued from Boko Haram by Nigerian troops say the Islamist Jihadist group is fracturing as shortages of weapons and fuel foment tensions between its foot soldiers and leaders. 

Two of the women said the militants complained of lacking guns and ammunitions. 

They said many of the fighters were reduced to carrying sticks while some of their vehicles were either broken down or lacked petrol. 

The women said even the wife of their captors' leader, Adam Bitri, openly criticized him and subsequently fled.
