A counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad, Zagazola Makama says he has received an exclusive later written by ISWAP group to the Boko Haram faction of Abubakar Shekau, challenging them to a fight.
Zagazola claimed ISWAP accused the Boko Haram group of misleading the people, spreading falsehood, withholding the truths, corruption and raping of women in the name of worshipping God.
His statement was contained in a post on his social media platform on Friday in which he stated that the Boko Haram faction had already accepted the challenge.
According to him, the battle took place in Gaizuwa, with many killed on both sides.
Recall that the security expert had posted a different statement on Wednesday claiming that Boko Haram fighters captured 60 terrorists of the Islamic State in West Africa Province, ISWAP, including three key commanders of the sect.
Zagozola said that the ISWAP terrorists were captured on their way to Damasak in Borno State, identifying the commanders as Abubakar Saddiq, Abou Maimuna and Malam Idris.
However, Zagazola said “both groups are warming up for the next battle although the time and venue remain unannounced.”
He wrote, “EXCLUSIVE: ISWAP Invited Boko Haram to a gunfight in Sambisa forest
