Nigeria’s deadly terrorist groups clash, 6 dead

Six terrorists have died following a clash between Nigeria’s Boko Haram and its rival, the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP).

The clash between fighters of the two deadly groups reportedly took place  at the weekend.

Daily Trust reports that ISWAP invade Boko Haram enclaves, sparking a ferocious gunfight among their members.

“ ISWAP had in a silent operation stormed the home of Boko Haram insurgents in Gajibo, a town 95km northeast of Maiduguri, Borno State capital and slaughtered six whom they declared as “infidels”, the report said.

Quoting Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad, the report claims the attackers also recovered five AK47 riffles from the Boko Haram terrorists.

ISWAP has intermittently attacked Boko Haram terrorists in deadly clashes.
