Fifty-five suspected members of the Islamic State of the West African Province (ISWAP), including several top commanders have been killed by the troops of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) on the fringes of Arege in Malam Fatori of Abadam local government area of Borno State.

Niger Republic’ Ministry of Defence, which revealed the killings yesterday, said they were carried out during a 22-day aggressive operation nicknamed “Operation Harbin Zuma” which began on May 6, 2023 and ended on Sunday May 28.

The ministry said the operations targeted ISWAP strongholds in the Tumbums and were coordinated by the troops of Sector 3 and Sector 4 Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF).

Some of the top ISWAP commanders killed in the offensive were identified as Fiya Abouzeid, Qaïd Abou Oumama, Qaïd Malam Moustapha, and religious leaders whose identities were unknown.
