Breaking: Boko Haram Overruns ISWAP in Fierce Battle, Over 100 Dead
A fierce confrontation is unfolding between rival Boko Haram factions and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in the Lake Chad region, particularly in the village of Dogon Chiku. Early reports, including insights from security analyst Zagazola Makama, indicate that Boko Haram is currently gaining the upper hand, with initial casualty estimates reaching around 200 fighters.
The fighting is focused on the Lake Chad area, including Dogon Chiku and Abadam in Borno State. Heavy gunfire could be clearly heard as fighters exchanged shots while moving on boats across the lake, shouting “Allahu Akbar!” during the intense clashes.
Local anti-terror militias and intelligence sources suggest that the death toll could be as high as 200, with most casualties reportedly from ISWAP. Boko Haram appears to have suffered minimal losses during the initial encounters.
The Jama’tu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS) faction of Boko Haram is said to have made significant advances, overrunning ISWAP positions and capturing weapons and equipment.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama continues to provide regular updates, confirming both the high casualty figures and the success of Boko Haram’s offensive.
This ongoing inter-jihadist conflict has persisted since the groups split in 2016, fueled by ideological differences and a fierce struggle for territorial control in the Lake Chad basin.
