Soldiers Kill Shekau’s Ally, Baga In Terrorist Enclaves.
Nigerian troops have eliminated Tahir Baga, a top commander of the Jamā’at
Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād, better known as Boko Haram, during an
offensive operation in the Sambisa Forest.
The operation, codenamed “Operation Desert Sanity III,” targeted several
terrorist enclaves deep within the forest, including Shababul Umma, Garin
Panel Beater, and Lagara Anguwan Gwaigwai.
According to intelligence sources cited by counter-insurgency expert and
security analyst in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, the troops made
contact with the terrorists during the offensive, resulting in the killing
of Tahir
Baga and some of his lieutenants, while several others fled with gunshot
wounds.
Baga, a revered Imam within the sect, was known for his unwavering
commitment to the group’s ideology.
Accordingly, the elimination of Tahir Baga is considered a significant blow
to
the Boko Haram terrorist group, as he played a crucial role in sustaining
the
group’s operations and indoctrinating its members.
