Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on Friday bombed a gathering of Islamic State\u2019s of West Africa Province (ISWAP) members.<\/p>\n

The meeting was presided over by the new leader (Wali), Sani Shuwaram.<\/p>\n

Fighter jets shelled locations at Sabon Tumbun and Jibularam under Marte Local Government Area in Borno State.<\/p>\n

The operation, which involved Nigerian Army troops, targeted Shuwaram and heads of units.<\/p>\n

The airstrikes were executed after an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance study by the Air Task Force (ATF).<\/p>\n

A counter-terrorism officer told PRNigeria that many jihadists were killed, including high-ranking insurgents, foot soldiers and Hisbah Police of ISWAP.<\/p>\n

\u201cA ground assessment confirmed some ISWAP top commanders were at the scene at the time of the strikes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey include Muhammed Bako, Special Militant Forces Commander (Rijal Ann); Muhammad Malumma, Chief Judge of Marte; Goni Mustapha, Chief Imam; Muhammed Ba\u2019ana, Commander of Kirta.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuhammed Ali, Amir of Kwalaram; Ibn Umar, Chief Prosecutor; Bakura Gana, Commander of Jubularam; and Malam Musa, Amir of Jubularam\u201d, the source said.<\/p>\n

It is still unclear if Shuwaram was hit by the strikes. The military is conducting further surveillance of the general area.<\/p>\n
