March 16, (THEWILL) – At least 35 fighters of the Boko Haram Buduma terrorists faction, were killed in a series of deadly clashes with the Islamic State of the West African Province (ISWAP) group in the shores of Lake Chad.
It was gathered that the ISWAP faction, led by Mallam Akilu, a top ISWAP Commander, from Buluwa and Tamfala, led over 70 fighters to attack Boko Haram positions in Habujan Ruwa.
Impeccable sources told Zagzola Makama that the ISWAP fighters gunned down 9 terrorists and seized their weapons on March 11, 2024.
On the same day, other groups clashed around Lariski, located in south Jabullam in Abadam LGA of Borno State.
On 12 and 13 March, 2024, the ISWAP fighters advanced towards Tumbum Ali in Kukawa LGA Borno State blocking every access route of the Boko Haram.
During the attack, the ISWAP neutralised the Boko Haram fighters, killing 26 of them, captured 11 of them alive, as well as seized their weapons.
During the heavy gun battle, two fishermen caught in a crossfire were killed, while two others were abducted by ISWAP.
Zagazola understands that the wali of ISWAP, Abu Musa Almangawi, has issued death sentences to all fighters under Abou Umaymah, aka Bakura Buduma.
Both groups had vowed to more wars against themselves than the government forces.
