At least eighty-two (82) members of the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) and their families reportedly drowned in a river in Borno State in early June 2023.
The terrorists who operate from the Lake Chad region axis reportedly met their Waterloo while trying to escape massive troop incursions between June 2 and 3, 2023.
The terrorists were fleeing the North East axis of Damasak in the northeast part of Nigeria when they drowned in the running river.
They were reportedly trying to cross over to the Niger Republic. The separate incidents were reportedly recorded in Bulama Modori, Kaneram, Dogomolu and Jokka communities. The river stretches from Komadougou, Yobe, into Lake Chad through Niger.
