MNJTF Destroys ISWAP Equipment in Tumbum
Rego
ISWAP terrorists and equipment including weapons, ammunition and
logistics were destroyed in Tumbum Rego over the weekend. Air
interdictions conducted by MNJTF and national Air Task Forces
successfully attacked and killed several fighters and knocked out
equipment on Saturday, 30 August, 2019 as they prepared to launch
an offensive on troops location.
Battle damage assessment has indicated that the air interdiction
had a devastating impact, as pockets of ISWAP build up and
logistics hidden under trees in Tumbum Rego have been in
ruined.
In a related development, ISWAP assets in Mallam Zuberu and
Alagarno were also targeted and neutralized. Similarly, improvised
explosive devices planted by ISWAP operatives in Layi Koura area of
Nguigmi in Niger Republic was discovered and defused by troops.
It would be recalled that in the past couple of weeks, ISWAP
suicide bombers struck in Kaiga – kindjiria; a rural community in
the Republic of Chad as well as Gubio in Borno State, in an effort
by ISWAP to revamp its dream of establishing a caliphate in parts
of Northern Nigeria and other areas of the Lake Chad Basin.
This blow by the MNJTF will further plunge the leadership and
followership of ISWAP into more despair.
