The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has killed several militants of the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP), including a top commander, Mallam Buba Danfulani, with airstrikes from the newly acquired A-29 Super Tucano along the fringes of Lake Chad in Borno State.
It was gathered that the NAF component of Operation Hadin Kai launched a series of attacks on Sunday at ISWAP camps located East of Madayi in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State, close to Lake Chad.
The operation was conducted after Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, revealed the location of the terror kingpins and his ‘boys’.
Danfulani was an ISWAP Amir (leader) in charge of all the Fulani and herdsmen who joined the terrorists.
He also coordinated activities of the terrorists ranging from the deployment of spies to, the collection of taxes and levies, and also acted as an intermediary between the ISWAP leadership and newly inducted members from his extraction.
Meanwhile, experts have said his death has no doubt created a consequential vacuum in the ISWAP leadership, particularly in the coordination of its economic activities.
