The fight, which happened between Dikwa and Bama local government areas, led to the killing of a commander simply identified as “Kundu” and dozens of fighters.
Kundu and his team were reportedly on a robbery mission when the ISWAP intercepted them on six motorcycles, each conveying three fighters.

He said, “A heavy fight ensued between the terrorists resulting to dozens of casualties on the side of the Boko Haram terrorists, while few ISWAP terrorists were wounded.
“The Boko Haram terrorists took to their heels leaving their motorcycles to the ISWAP terrorists.”
