Boko Haram terrorists and their collaborators are in disarray and fleeing from their hideouts in the North East as Nigerian troops continue to deal serious blows to BHT/ISWAP terrorists in the North East, decimating their ranks. In the most recent encounters between Nigerian troops and the terrorists, several terrorist leaders have been neutralized, leading to widespread panic and confusion in their camps as many more are deserting the camps, fleeing for dear life.
Credible sources on the ground in Borno State told The Inferno that on 17 July 2020, Nigerian troops targeted the terrorists on their market activities and undercover movement around Kolofata, a border town with Cameroon where troops of Strong Response Area (SRA) Pulka neutralized 6 Boko Haram terrorists attempting to cross from Cameroon Border towards Sambisa Axis. Sources also confirmed the killing of a top Boko Haram Commander named Sayinna and other fighters during the encounter. The other slain terrorists were suspected to be Imam and Mansur to Abu Fatima who hibernates in Sambisa forest.
Sources also confirmed that the Nigerian Military recovered several weapons and equipment from the terrorists and also intercepted a letter written in Hausa to Abu Fatima (a Boko Haram top commander), documents, and other logistics.
Recall that the troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE recently neutralized 8 prominent leaders of the disorganized, marauding elements of the terrorists in their futile attempt to infiltrate Army Super Camp Damasak. The terrorists met their waterloo on 2nd July 2020 when they were led by their top leaders (Amirs) to attack the troops in Damasak from 2 flanks to cause them massive casualty. However, the troops’ doggedness, superior firepower, and maneuvers overwhelmed the terrorists.
From all indications, the Nigerian Military in its Operation LAFIYA DOLE, particularly since the turn of the year 2020, has continually caused confusion and disharmony in the camps of the insurgents. This is evident by the frequent changes in ISWAP leadership within a short period and this was largely due to the several losses inflicted on them by the troops.
Amongst the top BHT/ISWAP leaders killed during the encounter at Damasak and buried by the terrorists at Goski village in the early hours of 3rd July 2020 were:
a. Tumbun Dabino - Ba Issoufou.
b. Tumbun Bororo - Amir Batam.
c. Tumbun Jaki - Almustapha.
d. Tumbun Bagaruwa - Modou Kollo.
e. Dogon Tchoukou - Issah.
f. Tumbun Rakke - Mustapha Woulama.
h. Tumbun Dila - Boukar Kowa.
i. Tumbun Mita - Abou Aisha.
The series of successes so far recorded by the Nigerian Military has led to the insurgents surrendering in their numbers. They voluntarily admitted that the insurgency is driven more by the need for money, power, greed, and criminality, and less of any ideology.
