Joint Task Force, JTF, in Maiduguri, Borno State capital,
yesterday, said it killed a Boko Haram Commander for the North-East and
North-West of Maiduguri and his lieutenants, who allegedly killed General
Mamman Shuwa three weeks ago.
The name of the Commander was given as Ibn Saleh Ibrahim.
A statement by JTF spokesman, Lt.-Col. Sagir Musa, said
troops from the JTF, 333 Air Defence Regiment, the Department of State
Security, SSS, with the support of a helicopter, conducted major offensive
operations against some suspected terrorists in Nganaram, Bulabulin and Bayan
Quarters in Maiduguri metropolis.
Sagir, however, said the operation was still ongoing at
press time, pointing out that the late Ibn Saleh was confirmed to be
responsible for the recent killing of the Nigerian Civil War hero, Gen. Mamman
Shuwa through the orders of the sect’s leader Abubakar Shekau.
