Many terrorists dead as Boko Haram and ISWAP attack themselves in Sambisa forest (Video)

At least more than 23 terrorists have reportedly been killed in renewed deadly clashes between terrorist groups, Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in the Sambisa Forest area of Borno State.

Counter-terrorism expert, Zagazola Makama in a post on X, said the latest confrontation reportedly occurred around the Chingolo axis of Bama Local Government Area, where Boko Haram fighters attacked ISWAP members who were advancing into the area.

Makama disclosed that the developement is part of a renewed wave of hostilities between the two rival terrorist groups that began about two days ago.

According to him, the footage indicated that the clashes involved sustained exchanges of fire as both factions sought to consolidate their positions and prevent the other from expanding its influence within the forest.

He added that preliminary intelligence indicates that more than 23 terrorists have been killed on both sides since the latest round of fighting began, although the exact casualty figures for each faction could not immediately be independently verified.

Makama asserted that the development is believed to reflect the continuing rivalry between Boko Haram and ISWAP over territory, access routes, resources and control of fighters operating in the Sambisa Forest and surrounding areas

The security expert further noted that the latest fighting around Chingolo reportedly began after ISWAP elements moved into the area, prompting Boko Haram fighters to launch an attack against the advancing group.

He said the confrontation further weakened the terrorist groups and disrupted their activities in an area that has historically served as a major operating environment for insurgents in Borno.

Makama further disclosed that the security forces are closely monitoring developments and exploiting available intelligence on the movements and activities of the rival factions.

He added that the renewed infighting could create additional pressure on both groups as security forces continue sustained counter-terrorism operations across the North-East.

“The military has continued to target terrorist concentrations, logistics networks and hideouts as part of efforts to degrade the insurgents and deny them freedom of action.

“However, security officials have urged communities in areas surrounding the Sambisa Forest to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious movements to the authorities,” he said.

It is no longer business as usual for terrorist in Nigeria. They know they are losing big time and all that is left for them to do now is completely surrender unconditionally.

Perfect opportunity to drop bombs on them.

By the way, no dead bodies seen.

Just gunshots without any adversaries seen.

A video of this or it's another APC propaganda on frontpage.

This one wey be like a score of terrorists acting action and bozzz na eim you call ISWAP vs Boko?

Let's be serious in this country for a change!

What could be the reason for this. Either way it's good news, since the naija army no fit kill dem. They are helping the army to kill themselves. At least it will leave some money in the defense budget for looting 😀

This has been the most effective way terrorist have been taken off

This was same way that shekau was eliminated

Beautiful.

They should obliterate each other, enough spiritual virgins to go around once they cross over.

This is a win win for all of them.

So shall tinubu and APC attack and destroy themselves.

This I've seen.

Atiku should go to Sambisa Forest to find new promise to make, or perhaps he has already exhausted all his promises.

Both of them go dey shout Allahu Akbar
