Boko Haram Kills 10 ISWAP Fighters In Niger Republic

Boko Haram terrorists have killed at least ten members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters including their top Commanders.

Naija News learned that the Boko Haram group, popularly known as Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād (JAS) led by Bakura Buduma killed the ISWAP fighters in Lake Chad.

According to reports, the Boko Haram insurgents overwhelmed the ISWAP fighters in a gun battle and killed them around the river bank between Kadunan Ruwa and Kandahar axis of Niger Republic.

It was said that many ISWAP fighters drowned in the river while ten others were apprehended alive by the Boko Haram insurgents.

Also, the Bakura Buduma led group took two ISWAP top commanders to an unknown destination for interrogation before they were slaughtered.

In a viral video, a Boko Haram commander claimed that God has continued to give them the opportunity to defeat the ISWAP fighters.

He said: “We are the Mujahideens from the Jama’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihad faction in Lake Chad. As you are aware, there has been an intensified infighting between we and our enemies for the past few months and Allah has been giving us victories to eliminate them.

“We have arrested about ten of them including some of their top commanders and we have asked them why they are waging war against us. And the Commander said, they don’t have any reason but they are just fighting us.

“Initially, we are doing the same thing and practicing the same religion before you deviated from all the teachings.

“We are therefore assuring you that Almighty God will continue to give us victory to eliminate all of you from the surface of earth.”
