Fighters of the dreaded Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP), a faction of the Boko Haram group, on Sunday, laid an ambush on the convoy of Farouq Yahaya, the Commandant of Nigeria’s counter-insurgency operation.
Farouq Yahaya, who is a Major General, took over from Major General Olusegun Adeniyi as leader of Operation Lafiya Dole in April 2020.
According to the online conflict reporting site, HumAngle, the ISWAP insurgents attacked the Garin Kuturu village’s theatre commander between Auno and Jakana towns along the Maiduguri —Damaturu highway.
As the terrorists and the troops engaged in a fierce gun battle, at least two soldiers were reported to have sustained injuries, a development that led to their death.
