It was gathered that the deceased was eliminated by the angry commander in the presence of other fighters in Kajeri Dogumba village in the Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State.
“Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that Abu Muhammed accused Abu Darda of leading the failed attacks of March 19th, in Mafa which resulted in the killing of scores of the terrorists and capturing of two of their gun trucks,” he tweeted.
“The Commander said they had only three trucks but Darda's failure led to their capture by the military, noting that he couldn't watch his back as the military traced his footsteps to attack them in their camp while they were sleeping.
“The Commander said he was particularly pained because the military killed scores of his fighters, burnt his foodstuff and some newly acquired furniture meant for his wedding which was by the corner.
“The Commander who is currently converging his fighters at Kajeri Dogumba, Bula Yagana Aliye in Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State, vowed to revenge the killing of his fighters.
