Troops Eliminate 14 Boko Haram Commanders In Borno

About 14 Boko Haram fighters including Abu Hassan, a Commander (Munzir), of the Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād aka Boko Haram have been eliminated by Nigerian troops.

The troops wiped out the terrorists in an encounter at the axis Mafa, Borno State.

It was gathered that the terrorists were killed after a gunner in the troops’ patrol convoy opened fire on the fleeing terrorist’s position with an Anti-Aircraft gun which resulted in the neutralising of 14 terrorists.

Zagazola Makama, a Counter Insurgency Expert and Security Analyst, reports that Abu Hassan, a Commander who led the robbery mission and 13 other fighters were killed.

One of the terrorists who was communicating with a Commander in the camp of Abu Iklima, was heard saying that the infidels, referring to the troops, had killed 13 of the Mujahedeens, including Abu Hassan.

“Someone fired at us while we are withdrawing from the battle field in Ngowom. We are on our way with the corpses. We are coming to Gaizuwa.

“Abu Hassan has slept (dead), Some of our fighters were also wounded, we may need emergency medical interventions. Please be on standby,” he said.

Zagazola understands that the militants are yet to arrive Gaizuwa, in Bama as at 10:44 hours on Tuesday, November 15.
