ISWAP Allegedly Challenges Boko Haram To Gunfight In Sambisa Forest

Both groups are warming up for the next battle. Time and Venue unannounced.

Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst based in the Lake Chad region, says he has received an exclusive letter written by the ISWAP group to the Boko Haram faction of Abubakar Shekau, challenging them to a fight.

Zagazola claimed ISWAP accused the Boko Haram group of misleading the people, spreading falsehood, withholding the truths, corruption and raping of women in the name of worshipping God.

His statement was contained in a post on his social media platform on Friday in which he stated that the Boko Haram faction had already accepted the challenge.

Zagozola said that the ISWAP terrorists were captured on their way to Damasak in Borno State, identifying the commanders as Abubakar Saddiq, Abou Maimuna and Malam Idris.
