Nigerian military kills over 70 ISWAP terrorists in Borno

The Nigerian military has killed over 70 fighters and commanders of the Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP.

The operation was conducted by the Nigerian Air Component from Operation Hadin Kai, OPHK, in a fresh airstrike in ISWAP camps in southern Lake Chad, resulting in significant militant casualties.

This was made known on Saturday by Zagazola Makama, a Lake Chad Basin counterterrorism and insurgency expert, in a post on his X handle.

Makama disclosed that intelligence sources told him that the targeted strikes on November 6 focused on camps led by notorious ISWAP commander Usman Russia.

The security expert explained that the strikes specifically hit locations at Kwallaram and Arainna Ciki islands near Jibilarram in Marte Local Government Area.

“Impeccable sources who relayed the ground assessment report that the attack was highly successful, confirming that over 70 ISWAP fighters were neutralized at the Kwallaram camp.

“He noted that while the exact number of casualties at Arainna Ciki remains uncertain, sources indicate that several terrorists were also killed in this coordinated assault,” Makama added.

The security expert stated that the successful airstrikes could be described as arguably one of the most successful strikes undertaken by the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai.

According to him, ISWAP had mobilized additional fighters from its Sambisa wing, regrouping in the areas of Kusuma and Sigir in Gamboru Ngala Local Government Area, following the strike.

Makama explained that both locations are within the territory under Usman Russia’s control, with mobilized fighters reportedly including elements from Sambisa Forest and northern border areas of Cameroon.

Ahead of the governorship election in Ondo State, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has accused the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, of making unfounded allegations.

DAILY POST reports that during the campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, Makinde was quoted to have said that Ondo State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mrs Toyin Babalola, hails from the state.

However, reacting to the allegation via a post on its verified X handle, INEC stated categorically that the allegation was unfounded and untrue.

INEC noted: “Our attention has been drawn to an allegation made by the Governor of Oyo State, Mr. Seyi Makinde at his party’s campaign rally held today in Akure in which he called on the INEC Chairman to remove the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Ondo State, Mrs. Toyin Babalola, because “she is from Ondo State.”

“For the avoidance of doubt, Mrs. Babalola is not from Ondo State in line with the Commission’s policy not to deploy a REC to his or her state of origin.

“In 2020, ahead of the last governorship election in the same state, he accused a senior official of the Commission of working with the Vice Chancellor of a federal university to undermine the election. The allegation was untrue.

“We appeal to holders of high public office such as Governor Makinde to verify their information before making these serial, unfounded allegations.”
