Reports from intelligence sources reveal growing anxiety among Boko Haram fighters following sustained airstrikes on their hideouts in Gwoza Local Government Area, Borno State.
Reports indicate that Nigerian Military fighter jets recently bombed insurgent camps in Gobara and Balangaje, located in the vicinity of Sambisa Forest, causing the destruction of several structures. The airstrikes allegedly killed three senior Boko Haram commanders, identified as Mustafa, Ba Bunu, and Awana Kura, generating fear among fighters, women, and children in the affected areas.
A senior Boko Haram commander, Modu Kunduli, was quoted as informing another top commander, Bakura (alias Weeze), that the group’s leadership and fighters were unsettled by the constant Air bombardments.
Bakura, who operates around Kwajaffa–Ngabur village in Hawul LGA, was said to have admitted similar concerns among his fighters following the sighting of NAF jets over Garkida and Gombi areas.
Intelligence further revealed that Boko Haram elements were considering retreating to their hideout in Ngulde, Askira/Uba LGA, pending further directives from their top commander.
Security sources said troops have been placed on heightened alert to monitor possible insurgent movement as the group seeks safer zones to evade aerial bombardment.
