The chief judge of Boko Haram terrorists, Muhammad Shuwa has been killed in a brutal air raid operation which took place as a result of the fighting going on within Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorist fractions.
According to reports by Vanguard News, the Islamic State in West Africa (ISWAP) is currently in disarray resulting from intense inhouse fighting.
The chaos and fightings have instigated further fractions within the terrorist groups particularly following the appointment of Amir Abba-Gana as the new fraction leader after the elimination of Ba’a Idirisa on February 9, 2019.
Vanguard news further reported that intelligent sources disclosed in an assessment conducted on the Jihadists group that the number of high-profile terrorist commanders, including foreign terrorist sponsors that have been killed within two months as a result of the intensified military offensives in North-eastern Lake Chad is about 25.
The source said:
“Two foreign terrorist sponsors were killed during the air raid and ground assault by the Nigerian troops in their camps. During the operations, most of the foreign commanders fled leaving behind few local commanders who move around Tumbun Kibiya, Tumbun Alura, Tumbun Kurna and Kayewa where their fighters relocated to after striking Sabon Tumbun and Tudun Wulgo recently.
“The Tumbus are now virtually left in the hands of local inhabitants who were forcefully recruited or abducted into the sect mostly from Mobbar, Abadan, Guzamalla, Kukawa and Marte Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Borno State, North-East Nigeria.
“The local terrorist fighters were also said to have been forcibly recruited along with some few Budumas who stayed back to hold ground in anticipation for elevation in status which mostly can not operate some of the supporting weapons left by the feeing commanders.

“There is an anticipation of an imminent and massive protest in the ISWAP camps as some fighters started accusing the leadership of misleading them while on the other hand, mothers of the trained child soldiers are also calling on their children to lay down their arms and surrender.”
