Military airstrikes have purportedly resulted in the deaths of three leaders belonging to the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP), as reported by Zagazola Makama, a publication specialising in counter-insurgency in the Lake Chad area.

The strikes allegedly claimed the lives of 22 other insurgents as the operation reportedly occurred on Sunday in Arinna Woje village in the Marte Local Government Area of Borno state.

Attack on ISWAP leaders
According to a report, the air segment of Operation Hadin Kai launched a comprehensive and forceful attack on the terrorists’ shelter.

The source identified three leaders, Abacha, Bakura, and Babangida, from the Jibularam region in Borno.

On Monday, the bodies of ISWAP fighters were found and laid to rest, with several members of the insurgent faction present at the burial.

As reported by The Cable, the people present included Amirul Fiye, Abu Hamza, Khaid of Tumbumma, Abu Nazir, Abu Rijal, and the Khaid of Koloram, among others.

In a recent development, soldiers from Operation Hadin Kai allegedly eliminated 11 ISWAP militants and dismantled 25 terrorist camps in both the Sambisa forest and the Timbuktu Triangle in Borno.

This development further shows the commitment of the Nigerian Armed Forces to eliminate terrorism in the northeastern region of Nigeria.
