By: Zagazola Makama

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have neutralised a prominent member of the ISWAP Shura Council during an operation in Yobe State.

Security sources said the development was confirmed at about 6:12 p.m. on April 22 following intelligence reports that the senior terrorist figure, identified as Abu Jarir, was eliminated by troops in the Babangida area.

According to the sources, the neutralisation is considered a significant blow to the terrorist leadership structure in the Lake Chad region.

The sources further disclosed that the overall ISWAP commander in the Lake Chad axis, identified as Ba Shuwa, reportedly dispatched a team to recover the body of the slain commander on the same day.

The search party was said to have been sighted moving on about 12 motorcycles around the Aljanna Jaule area.

Further details on the operation are expected as exploitation continues.
