Fighter jets of the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) have destroyed the two major camps of Boko Haram leader, Amir Bakoura Buduma, in the Lake Chad Basin, Northeast region, just barely 48 hours after he deployed ‘unrepentant’ fighters of his sect to fortify terrorists and bandits in a forest in Kaduna State.
The two camps of Amir Buduma destroyed are located in Kusulu and Toumboun Adashe, are located in the Southwest of Lake Chad.
Sources confirmed that the offensive bombardments by the fighter jets killed “dozens of the Boko Haram fighters while those who survived sustained injuries.”
The source noted that the MNJTF aerial raid, which was carried out on Wednesday, was executed in collaboration with French forces in the operational area.
But it is still not clear if Buduma, the self-styled Boko Haram ‘Ultimate Commander,’ was killed or injured in the military attack.
Buduma, who is leading the remaining ‘unrepentant’ Boko Haram terrorists who refused to surrender to the Nigerian Army in the Northeast Nigeria, had appointed a deputy for himself as part of his consolidation efforts and felt so strong as to “export terrorists to beef up earlier terrorists deployments in Kaduna State.”
While he operated from operated at a border area between Nigeria and the Niger Republic, some Buduma’s fighters were deployed to North-west and dominated a forest close to Rigachikun in Kaduna State.
Sources said that the newly deployed terrorists now rustle cattle and kidnap people to their den at a forest close to Rigachikun in Kaduna State.
The ‘unrepentant’ Boko Haram faction, fazed by the shoddy way they were treated after the death of their leader, Abubakar Shekau in May 2021, has been having running battle with the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in the Northeast and Lake Chad regions.
Apart from the massive surrendering of their the terrorists group members to Nigerian troops, several other Boko Haram terrorists, under Mallam Hussain Izharouddeen, are also surrendering to the Cameroonian military at Moroa province.
