At least seventeen Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP) militants have reportedly drowned while attempting to flee across a river between Kafetoa and Bulabulin Gaidam, located on the border between Nigeria and Niger Republic.
Thewatch Africa gathered that the terrorists had been displaced from their bases in Bulabulin Geidam, Chettimari, and Diffan, along the Nigeria-Niger Republic borders.
A counter-insurgency expert in the Lake Chad area, Zagazola Makama, in a statement shared on his X.com handle, said the insurgents were reportedly trying to reach Tam village in the Niger Republic, near Kannamma in Yobe State, when strong currents swept them away.
"The militants were swept away by strong currents as they attempted the crossing,” he added.
