A video has emerged indicating that fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province reportedly buried about 30 of their members following devastating airstrikes by the Nigerian military in parts of northern Borno State.
A video of the incident was shared on X by Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency and security expert in Lake Chad region.
On Wednesday, military airstrikes neutralised about 30 insurgents around the Lake Chad region.
Makama, citing security sources, said that the terrorists conducted burial rites in the Mallam Fatori axis after a series of precision air interdiction missions carried out by the Nigerian military under Operation HADIN KAI.
The sources said the strikes were executed after intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) reports confirmed the movement of ISWAP fighters along waterways around the Kaniram Island area.
