Drama As ISWAP Kills Two Boko Haram Commanders

The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists have killed two Boko Haram commanders Abou Hamza (Munzir) and Abou Ibrahim (Nakib) in Gaizuwa community of Bama Local Council of Borno State.

It would be recalled that ISWAP had carried out series of attacks against the Boko Haram faction within the past weeks plunging the Boko Haram into a State of disarray and uncertainty.

They were killed when Boko Haram terrorists stormed the enclaves of the rival faction at midnight of September 17, 2022, in Gaizuwa in Bama Local Government.

It was gathered that the two commanders were executed in silent operations by ISWAP, as their remains were found in their homes in the early morning of September 18.

Zagazola Makama, a Counter Insurgency Expert and Security Analyst in the Lake Chad understands that before the latest attack, Boko Haram had vowed to revenge the killing of 29 terrorists including a top Commander ambushed by the ISWAP terrorists.

Competent source disclosed that the Boko Haram later invited  More than 70 fighters  from the axis of Mafa, Karkut, Shiwai, Lawe Kanuriye, Kirwa and Amtifur to help them to carry out the reprisal against the ISWAP.

The sources said “They divided  themselves into two groups before taking off from Gaizuwa. But before arriving the ISWAP enclave, they came under another heavy fire by the ISWAP who already knew about their plans, killing unspecified number of them.

“The Boko Haram  fighters scampered in different directions with many killed and injured while some were captured alive and their weapons seized.”
