Boko Haram terrorists have reportedly killed 33 wives of top commanders of the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP), in a reprisal attack following the killing of one of their commanders, Malam Aboubakar Munzir and 15 other fighters in the Sambisa Forest in Borno State.
A counter insurgency expert and security analyst in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, who confirmed the incident on Twitter on Tuesday, said the in-fighting between the two groups degenerated on Sunday when the BH fighters stormed a camp belonging to ISWAP and killed the women.
“On December 3, a top Boko Haram leader in charge of Mandara Moutain, Ali Ngulde, led hundreds of fighters armed with weapons from Mandara Mountain to wage war against the ISWAP in Sambisa Forest,” Makama wrote.
