Troops of the Nigerian Army have neutralized a senior Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) commander, Abou Ameer, after insurgents failed in an attempt to breach a military formation in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Sources told security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, that Abou Ameer, who was only recently appointed as the Ameer (Qaid) of Pulka following the neutralization of his predecessor, Modu Kunduli, at Mayanti village in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State, led the insurgents in the operation.
The attackers were met with intense resistance from troops, who responded with coordinated firepower, forcing the group to retreat after suffering heavy losses.
The sources added that several senior ISWAP commanders, including Abu Ali Jango, Jundulla, and Saleh Madagali, sustained gunshot injuries during the encounter.
Troops recovered intelligence materials and weapons from the scene, underscoring the continued pressure on insurgent networks in the North East.
