In 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 we earlier reported.
The execution took place on Friday, 31st July 2020 at about
10:30am local time at a location given as Tudun Woulgo, which is close to Sabon
Tombo along Lake Chad axis.
Reliable source, confirmed to Dailytimes the executions were
carried out immediately after Eid-El-Kabir prayers at their Central Mosque in
Tudun Woulgo, part of the terrorists hideout.
The jihadists had promised to execute about 14 individuals
including some key commanders on the 31st July 2020.
This was 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.
It will be recalled that the jihadists’ leadership had
planned to carry out the execution of these 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.
Those executed included one Ba’a 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 ‘an Igbo man‘ who was
abducted on suspicion and allegation of “looking like a spy.”
The heartless executions took place in a typical jihadists
fashion amidst wild jubilation by hundreds of the insurgents compelled to watch
which comprised of jihadists fighters and young children mechanically chanting
“Allahu Akbar!”
A 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. The source further stated the men were
treated in the most inhuman manner and then brutally murdered with knives and
bleed to death.
Meanwhile, the jihadist leadership chaos continues to
destabilise the Boko Haram terrorists and ISWAP structure in the Lake Chad
region.
This 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.
The successful offensives were mostly targeted at the
Jihadist strongholds, particularly in Tumbun Gini. Thousands of Boko Haram
terrorists and ISWAP fighters and their commanders have recently been
eliminated forcing a complete overhaul of ISWAP leadership and independent
groups turned bandits.
Some of the criminals spilled over to the north west
geo-political zone of Nigeria to align and terrorise the vulnerable population.
The summary execution of some of top jihadist leaders and other captives is
part of an ongoing cleansing among the terrorists.
It is also aimed at consolidation exercise by the most
recent ISWAP leadership of Ba Abubakar Lawan and the return of Abu Musab
Albarnawi to ISWAP high command. In addition a video clip of the executions
will be released soon by the terrorists.
In view of these developments in the theatre, all local and
regional stakeholders must engage each other.
They need to collectively collaborate further towards a
common goal of achieving complete and sustainable defeat of terrorists and
criminal elements hibernating in some parts of the north eastern and north
western of Nigeria.
All 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’s War! No room for bickering or distractions.
