Troops Kill ISWAP Cameraman In Borno, Recover Footage Of Terrorist Activities
Troops killed an ISWAP cameraman and recovered a Sony camcorder with propaganda footage, ammunition and uniforms after the fighters fled in disarray.
- On Saturday night, 19 Brigade troops of Operation Hadin Kai repelled an ISWAP infiltration attempt in Cross Kauwa, Borno State, inflicting "heavy losses" on the attackers and forcing them to retreat in disarray.
- Security expert Zagazola Makama reported the terrorists aimed to loot cholera medical supplies from the community. Intelligence indicates ISWAP faces a cholera outbreak in nearby Lake Chad camps, where fighters allegedly executed infected colleagues.
- Troops recovered a Sony camcorder, PKT ammunition, and 7.62mm Special ammunition during battlefield exploitation. Two soldiers sustained gunshot wounds during the firefight and were evacuated by air for advanced medical care.
- Preliminary forensic examinations of the recovered camcorder revealed the operation involved foreign terrorist facilitators. Officials identified operatives as Palestinian Arab trainer Abu Ishaq and Moroccan doctor Abu Thaiba, along with one unidentified Arab.
- This failed infiltration represents a significant operational setback for ISWAP, capping a costly weekend for the group. International operatives' presence reinforces intelligence assessments that the organization continues to benefit from specialist expertise and transnational terrorist linkages.
