\nIn what could be described as true to type, impeccable sources have confirmed that ISIS in Africa (ISWAP) has executed about 20 (prisoners) that had been sentenced to death by the Chief Judge and his council as was earlier reported.
\nThe execution took place on Friday,\u00a0 31st\u00a0 July 2020\u00a0at about 10:30am\u00a0local time at a location given as Tudun Woulgo, which is close to Sabon Tombo along Lake Chad axis. According to the reliable source, executions were carried out immediately after Eid-El-Kabir prayers at their Central Mosque in Tudun Woulgo, part of the terrorists hideout.
\nThe jihadists had promised to execute about 14 individuals including some key commanders on the 31st July 2020.
\nThis was\u00a0 after the notorious warlord, Amir Baba Kaka, was executed at Kwalaram close to Kwatan Marghi. He was killed on the evening of Sunday 26th July 2020 along with two of his lieutenants; Amir Muhammed Lawal AKA Abba Lawal and Amir Musa.
\nIt will be recalled that the jihadists\u2019 leadership had planned to carry out the execution of the individuals at a location that had previously been given as Tunbum Kurna. But for some inexplicable reasons the actual location of the dastardly execution was changed to Tudun Woulgo.
\nThose executed included one Ba\u2019a Masta, an Islamic Scholar who preached in the Tumbus; two Nigerian Army soldiers (names withheld) and one individual known only as John, described by sources as \u2018an Igbo man\u2018 who was abducted on suspicion and allegation of\u00a0 \u201clooking\u00a0 like a spy.\u201d
\nThe heartless executions took place in a typical jihadists fashion amidst wild\u00a0 jubilation by hundreds\u00a0 of the insurgents compelled to watch which comprised of jihadists fighters and young children mechanically chanting \u201cAllahu Akbar!\u201d
\nA ring-like structure of cheering crowds of men and children that witnessed the executions included some top and key members of the ISWAP leadership, admist very tight security.
\nThe source further stated\u00a0 the men were\u00a0 treated in the most inhuman manner and then brutally murdered with knives and bled to death.
\nMeanwhile the jihadist leadership chaos continues to destabilise the Boko Haram terrorists and ISWAP structure in the Lake Chad region.
\nThis was following internal power struggles made worse by the recent sustained land and aerial coordinated offensives against the terrorists by the Nigerian Army commanded by Lt Gen.Tukur Yusufu Buratai; the Chadian Army under President Idriss Derby and the regional Multi-national Joint Task Force (MNJTF) troops.
\nThe successful offensives were mostly targeted at the Jihadist strongholds,\u00a0 particularly in Tumbun Gini.
\nThousands of Boko Haram terrorists\u00a0 and ISWAP fighters and their commanders have recently been eliminated forcing a complete overhaul of ISWAP leadership and independent groups turned bandits.
\nSome of the\u00a0 criminals\u00a0 spilled over to the north west geo-political zone of Nigeria to align and terrorize the vulnerable population.
\nThe summary executions of some of top jihadist leaders and other captives is part of an ongoing cleansing among the terrorists .
\nIt is also aimed at\u00a0 consolidation exercise by the most recent ISWAP leadership of Ba Abubakar Lawan and the return of Abu Musab Albarnawi to ISWAP high command.
\nIn addition, a video clip of the executions will be released soon\u00a0 by the terrorists.
\nIn view of these developments in the theatre, all local and regional stakeholders must engage each other.
\nThey need to\u00a0 collectively collaborate further towards a common goal of achieving complete and sustainable defeat of\u00a0 terrorists and criminal elements hibernating in some parts of the north eastern and north western of Nigeria.
\nAll hands should be on deck among the armed and security forces of Chad, Cameroun, Niger and Nigeria. Citizens and government must support the military and security forces to succeed. It is a collective and People\u2019s War! No room for bickering or distractions, the added.
