60 ISWAP fighters, including three commanders, were taken prisoner in Borno State by Boko Haram terrorists, according to information gathered by The Guardian.
A counter-insurgency specialist and security analyst in Lake Chad, Zagazola Makama, posted yesterday on his social media platform that the most recent power struggle between the two terrorist groups took place on Monday in the Kukawa-Madayi-Kwatan/Mota axis of the state.
He mentioned that the ISWAP terrorists had been apprehended in Borno while en route to Damasak and named the commanders as Abubakar Saddiq, Abou Maimuna, and Malam Idris.
He claimed that in the most recent turn of events, the Buduma factions of Boko Haram had the upper hand over ISWAP, which resulted in the capture of the majority of ISWAP enclaves.
He claimed that after the change in Boko Haram camps, there were ferocious celebrations.
He said: “They forced them (ISWAP) to seek refuge in more fortified hiding places in the axis of Kukawa, Madayi, and Kwatan Mota.
“On August 13, 2023, Boko Haram factions stopped 60 ISWAP terrorists, including three important commanders, Abubakar Saddiq, Abou Maimuna, and Malam Idris, as they traveled to Damascus. Later, the prisoners were brought to a POW facility at Kwatan Mota, a town nearby Dogon Chukwu, where they were kept in an underground cell.
In the meantime, in Borno’s Monguno Local Council, over 78 Boko Haram terrorists and their families have surrendered to Sector 3 MNJTF (Multinational Joint Task Force) soldiers as part of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK).
The MNJTF claims that the Sambisa Forest troops destroyed the terrorists’ camps, leading to the surrender of the terrorists and their families.
“There are raging infightings with ISWAP that led to the killing of over 100 terrorists of both Boko Haram and ISWAP sides in a week,” Makama said yesterday in Maiduguri.
He said that the terrorist organizations were fighting each other, and that most of the time, they attacked anyone they came across, including women and children.
