Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>There\u2019s an indication that intensified infighting has been going on between Boko Haram and Islamic State West africa Province, ISWAP, elements in Sambisa Forest and the shores of Lake Chad, for the past one month.<\/p>\n

The development has led to the killing of hundreds of fighters on both sides, according to a report.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed on Tuesday by acounter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad, Zagazola Makama in a post on X, while stating that days ahead would be very interesting.<\/p>\n

According to Zagazola, \u201cit was gathered that the Boko Haram group in Sambisa Forest was badly depleted and lacked manpower and material capacity as most of their commanders surrendered to the Nigerian forces.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further added that \u201cthose who intend to return after surrendering also risked being eliminated by the group as they considered them as spies.\u201d<\/p>\n

In accompanying video posted on his X handle, Zagazola explained that \u201cBoko Haram invaded ISWAP position in Gaizuwa, Sambisa Forest after ISWAP had flown out\u201d.<\/p>\n

The security expert pointed out that Gaizuwa was a former enclave of Boko Haram located a few kilometers to Bama LGA, but ISWAP took over the camp after defeating the Boko Haram group led by Alhaji Air Hajja Fusambe.<\/p>\n
