ISWAP Evacuates 15 Bodies, Abandons VBIED After Failed Attack In Borno (13820 Views)

TimeManager(m): 5:35pm On May 27

Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, fighters have hastily evacuated at least 15 dead bodies of their comrades after a failed midnight assault on New Marte in Borno State.
Zagazola Makama, a counter insurgency expert and security analyst in the Lake Chad region, made this known in a post on his X on Tuesday.

Makama disclosed he was informed by impeccable sources that the insurgents, on about 20 motorcycles had launched a coordinated attack on troops in New Marte at about 1:35 a.m. on Tuesday.

According to the report, the insurgents arrived on motorcycles and with a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED), apparently aimed at breaching the battalion’s defences.

However, the terrorists were overwhelmed by the combined firepower of Nigerian troops under Operation Hadin Kai, ed by the Nigerian Air Force Air Component.

“The VBIED, meant to cause maximum damage, was abandoned by the terrorists as they fled under sustained fire and aerial bombardment,” Makama added.

All enemies of Nigeria won't go unpunished. The media hardly talk when the military are decimating these ragtags but just a small attack by them, you see media going haywire & opposition losing their minds. Enemies of the state..

How were the terrorists allowed to evacuate 15 bodies while under sustained fire instead of them being killed ? They'll only come back tomorrow

New baby terrorists are born daily

The terrorists in the next 5 to 15 years are either already roaming the northern streets now or two useless abokis don dey nak as we dey talk now to get belle to born new sets of terrorists in next decade..

The problem is the illiteracy, religion and poverty

They are like rats, mosquitos, locusts… pest is what they are…
Breeding continuously as pests in that dirty scum where they come from
