\n

The Nigerian military has reportedly eliminated the leader of the Islamic State of West Africa Province, ISWAP, Ba\u2019a Shuwa, in the North East of Borno during a major attack.<\/p>\n

According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad, on Friday, made this known via a post on his X handle<\/p>\n

Zazagola revealed that Ba\u2019a Shuwa was the ISWAP Leader of the Nigerian Wylayat, Lake Chad, Kwalfarji, Timbuktu Farouq and Sambisa Mantika of ISWAP.<\/p>\n

He added that Shuwa was appointed in 2021 after Abubakar Shekau killed himself and he commanded terrorists in Chiralia, Markas Kauwa, Abirma, Buk, Abulam, Dusula, Abbagajiri, Gorgore and many other camps within the Timbuktu and Alagarno axis in the South of Borno.<\/p>\n

\n

The security expert claimed that the damaging airstrikes carried out on January 2, 2024 at Kwatan Dilla, in Abadam LGA of Borno State had led to killing of Ba\u2019a Shuwa including scores of his fighters.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cKilling of Ba\u2019a Shuwa, a deadly defeat on ISWAP ISWAP failed to carry out their attacks tagged \u201cGORON CHRISMAS\u201d now they are trying to get revenge for the killing of BA\u2019A SHUWA, ISWAP Leader of the Nigerian Wylayat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t have the capacity to attack super camps anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can only soft targets and plant IEDs, which always end up on innocent civilians.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the exploitation after the strike showcased footage of scores neutralizing enemy elements and equipment.<\/p>\n

The security expert also mentioned some of Shuwa\u2019s top Commanding Officers to include Khaid Hanzala, Ba\u2019a Idirisa, Rawana, Abou Ibrahim, Mallam Abubakar, Abou Aisha and Abou Khalid who was responsible for the recent attack on the electricity towers along Maiduguri-Damaturu highway.<\/p>\n
