ISWAP Terrorists Storm Rival Boko Haram’s Enclave, Kill Six, Seize Weapons
In what appeared to be a continuation of their sustained inter-rivalry clash, the fighters of the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) at the weekend attacked the enclave of Boko Haram, during which six of them were killed.
A counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, disclosed this in a series of tweets on Sunday.
The rival groups have been attacking communities in the Northeast region since both camps fell apart over leadership issues.
The groups have also since been having clashes, and Abubakar Shekau, leader of Boko Haram, was reportedly killed during one of such clashes in 2021.
According to Makama, ISWAP in a silent operation stormed the home of Boko Haram insurgents in Gajibo, a town 95km Northeast of Maiduguri, Borno State capital and slaughtered six fighters whom they declared as “infidels”.
The attackers also recovered five AK47 rifles from the Boko Haram terrorists.
ISWAP has carried out many successful attacks against Boko Haram terrorists since the start of the fight between the terror groups, causing the group huge casualties.
