25 ISWAP terrorists drown in river following weeklong NAF bombardments
No fewer than 25 Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists were drowned in Marte River in the Lake Chad region following serial bombardments by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF).
The terrorists who were fleeing the NAF airstrikes drowned in a deep river located within the Marte axis of the Lake Chad axis in the North East.
According to PRNigeria, military fighter jets, including Super Tucano belonging to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) ‘aggressively’ raided camps of the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) in a weeklong sustained aerial attacks.
An intelligence operative embedded in the local community confirmed that camps and warehouses serving as ISWAP insurgents’ ammunition and firearms were bombed by the aircraft.
“The military jets’ bombardments were simultaneously carried out at Bukar Mairam and Jubularam, Abbaganaram and Chikul gudu which resulted in the explosion of the warehouses, killing several terrorists.
“However, those who survived the blast at Bukar Mairam and Jubulram, fled and attempted to cross a river within the Lake Chad axis. It was in the process that about 25 of them got drowned ” the source added.
It would be recalled that recent air offensives by troops have impacted on ISWAP operational command, thwarting the group’s plans to carry out major attacks on military formations in the Northeast.
