In an encounter in the Mafa axis of Borno State, the Nigerian Army soldiers of Operation Hadin Kai reportedly killed 14 combatants, including Abu Hassan, a Commander (Munzir) of the terrorist organization Jam’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihd (Boko Haram).
According to reports, the terrorists were killed after 14 terrorists were neutralized when a gunner in a troop patrol convoy fired an anti-aircraft gun at the position of the fleeing terrorists.
Security analyst and counter-insurgency expert Zagazola Makama reports that 13 other fighters in addition to commander Abu Hassan who oversaw the heist mission were also murdered.
The unbelievers, referring to the army, have slain 13 of our Mujahedeen, including Abu Hassan, according to a terrorist who was speaking with a commander in the camp of Abu Iklima.
“While we are leaving the Ngowom fighting field, someone opened fire on us. The bodies are with us as we travel. Gaizuwa is where we’re headed.
“Abu Hassan has passed away; a few of our fighters were also hurt; we may require immediate medical attention. Please prepare to respond,” he urged.
Zagazola is aware that as of Tuesday, November 15, 10:44 in the morning, the militants had not yet arrived in Gaizuwa, Bama of Borno State.
