2023-03-28
[SAHARAREPORTERS] A commander of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of the West African Province (ISWAP), Abu Muhammed, has reportedly executed his immediate deputy, Abu Darda.
Oh dear. Conflict at the old HQ? Not a good thing for the organization...
Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert disclosed this in a series of tweets.

According to Makama, Darda was killed by the ISWAP leader for enabling military operation into their camp in Mukdolo and Bone villages which led to the killing of 41 fighters including Abu-Zahra Munzir.

It was gathered that the dear departed was eliminated by the angry commander in the presence of other fighters in Kajeri Dogumba village in the Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State.

"Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that Abu Muhammed accused Abu Darda of leading the failed attacks of March 19th, in Mafa which resulted in the killing of scores of the Lions of Islam and capturing of two of their gun trucks," he tweeted.

"The Commander said they had only three trucks but Darda's failure led to their capture by the military, noting that he couldn't watch his back as the military traced his footsteps to attack them in their camp while they were sleeping.

"The Commander said he was particularly pained because the military killed scores of his fighters, burnt his foodstuff and some newly acquired furniture meant for his wedding which was by the corner.
"They burned my area rug! It really tied the room together"
"The Commander who is currently converging his fighters at Kajeri Dogumba, Bula Yagana Aliye in Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State, vowed to Dire Revenge the killing of his fighters.

"Troops of Nigerian Army under the auspices of Operation Hadin Kai, stormed the hideout of ISWAP terrorist group in Dikwa Local Govt of Borno State, killing 41 of the Lions of Islam including a Commander, Abu Zahra."
