Boko Haram ‘captures’ ISWAP commanders

About 60 members of the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) have been captured by Boko Haram terrorists in Borno state.  Among those kidnapped are three key commanders of the sect. They’ve been identified as Abubakar Saddiq, Abou Maimuna and Malam Idris. Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in the Lake Chad reported that the ISWAP terrorists were captured on their way to Damasak in Borno State. The Buduma factions of Boko Haram have had an upper hand against ISWAP in recent times, forcing them to take refuge in more fortified hideouts in the axis of Kukawa and Madayi and Kwatan Mota. Makama reported;  Their recent upper hand against the ISWAP was achieved due to the fact that some aggrieved ISWAP fighters had left the group to join forces with the Boko Haram Buduma Faction.These captives were later taken to an underground prison cell at KWATAN MOTA close to Dogon Chukwu where they were held as Prisoners of War.The post Boko Haram captures ISWAP commanders appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
