Airstrikes kill many high ranking Boko Haram insurgents in Borno

Air task wing of Operation Hadin Kai have killed plenty of suspected Boko Haram/ ISWAP terrorists in their hideouts in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State, sources disclosed.

Reports as per Daily Trust, the Airforce carried out the operations between Christmas Eve and Tuesday, neutralising an unspecified number of terrorists in Sheutari and Mantari in Lawanti/Mallam Mastari/ Abbaram Ward of Bama council.

It was learnt that these two communities, Mantari and Sheutari, are currently under deadly group as part of Sambisa forests.

Those who got hit by the airstrikes were top fighters and many of the escapees left with air bombardment injuries.

A counter insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, while collaborating the account, claimed that severely injured members were being treated in a location about 500m west of Mantari.

He further added that a domestic intelligence source revealed that the renewed vigour in the military offensives under Operation Hadin Kai also caught the insurgents by surprise at Shehutari, as several terrorists met their end.

Many others were injured while the surviving terrorists were seen scampering for safety into the thick trees in different directions.

The damaging air strikes have resulted in the degradation of the capabilities of the Jam?’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jih?d within the Sambisa forest.

On Dec. 25, Boko Haram’s Amir Jaysh, Ali Ngulde sent some militant delegation headed by Amir Muke from Mandara Mountains and Abu Hassana to sympathise with the fighters.

The AI was a major hit that obliterated hundreds of terrorists including top JAS Khaids Abbah Tukur, Maimusari and Bakura Jega who were on a reinforcement mission and mobilising for attacks in the location.

Eight more fighters who sustained various degrees of injuries later died due to lack of proper medical assistance.

Further damage assessment indicated mass burials were carried out by JAS within Sambisa in the presence of top Khaids Abou Issa of Kala Balge and Ali Gana of Ngauri.

On December 27, Boko Haram terrorists conveyed some militant medical personnel on six motorcycles to Mantari camp of the terrorists, where they will be treating the wounded fighters.
