Two ISWAP Top Commanders Ya Muhammad and Abou Dawuda Confirmed Killed in Damboa Encounter.

Two top commanders of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), identified as Ya Muhammad and Abou Dawuda, have been confirmed killed in an operation by Nigerian troops in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.

Zagazola Makama gathered from impeccable sources that the terrorists were neutralized during a recent attack on Damboa town, which was foiled by the ground troops and the Nigerian Air Force’s (NAF) aerial bombardments.

The terrorists, who were leading fighters in the attack, were hit during the NAF’s strike targeting their position. Ya Muhammad, recognized as the Ameer Fiya of Garno, was among the five ISWAP commanders reportedly leading the assault.

Following the airstrikes, it was gathered that he initially escaped with two General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs), which he hid in the Bula Bukarti forest after two other fighters were neutralized under his command.

However, attempts by Ya Muhammad to regroup with more fighters were cut short when he was struck by another airstrike from the Operation Hadin Kai’s air component. His corpse was reportedly found later by fellow terrorists, marking a significant blow to the insurgent group.


The late commander was closely associated with other notable ISWAP leaders, including Abu Ayuba, Abu Khalid and Ameer Sarki. His death has reportedly plunged the terrorists into mourning, signifying his prominence in orchestrating attacks within Borno and Yobe states. Ya Muhammad was believed to have masterminded several attacks on locations such as Wajiroko, Sabon Gari, and Damboa.

I feel the NYSC scheme should be revised.. we should turn it to proper short Military service and make it 2-3 years.
Nigeria is at a point where all hands must be on deck to end terrorism for good.

Summary 😒😒


Two senior commanders of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), Ya Muhammad and Abou Dawuda, were killed during a failed assault on Damboa, Borno State, by Nigerian military forces. The encounter involved coordinated ground resistance and targeted aerial strikes by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), part of Operation Hadin Kai.

Ya Muhammad, known as the Ameer Fiya of Garno, was one of five key ISWAP leaders spearheading the attack. Although he initially escaped with two General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs) and hid in Bula Bukarti forest, he was later killed in a follow-up airstrike while attempting to regroup with other fighters. His body was recovered by ISWAP , dealing a major blow to the group.

Ya Muhammad was linked to other high-ranking ISWAP figures, including Abu Ayuba, Abu Khalid, and Ameer Sarki, and was believed to have played a central role in attacks across Borno and Yobe states, including in Wajiroko, Sabon Gari, and Damboa. His death, along with that of Abou Dawuda, has reportedly demoralized the terrorist group.

This is a good news and we don’t want people who don’t want the progress of this ountry to come and call this a propaganda again.


Meanwhile, I personally think it should become a criminal offense if anyone tries to rewrite any history in Nigeria

You want to to finish the younger generation,with their stupid politicking Abi? You think government doesn't know the solution to the terrorism Abi?

Government knows how to handle them,but the government of the day is not ready.

What happened to those that were mentioned,who sponsored terrorism in Nigeria? Gumi was recently deported.. A known middle man between terrorists and government,yet dude is living like a king in the country. So called repentant terrorists are everywhere in forces.

And you wan go put people children on the line.. Maybe na all ya people them go carry go fight the war

This our 'I don't care' attitude is the reason we are in the securty mess we're in today.. nothing bad in Military service, those in active service are not orphans, they also have their families and loved ones just like you and I.

Lest I forget, FG can create a programme for Nigerians from 50 yrs upwards willing to the Military and assist in the fight against insurgency.
If you think kids shouldn't go, then adults can volunteer and become combatants.

The Isrealis are the ones defending Isreal, same way Nigerians will be ones to defend Nigeria.

Keep it guys

You don't want tax reforms

You don't want economic reforms

You don't want Dangote Refinery

You don't want PH, Warri, Kaduna refineries

You don't want Lagos-Calabar highway

You hate Sokoto-Badagry express

Even second Niger bridge, you were sad,

Train nko, you kept crying

You don't want improved GDP

What you want is "shambles"

What you want is bad news

All you pray for is bandit, BH and IPOB attacks

All you wish for is for people to die

All you like to hear is "Nigeria has happened to you"

Yet you go to church to pray for a miracle,

You go for Umrah and fast for your personal turnaround,

Sorry!

May PBAT Succeed and Nigeria will be great 🇳🇬
