The Nigerian Army has uncovered a new terrorist group, Jama’atu
Nus’ratul-Islami Wal-Muslimina, believed to be operating in the
North-East of the country, and vowed to fight the group with “advanced
technologies.” The army in a statement said it had also identified the
leader of the new group as Abul-Fadl Iyad Gali, adding that the
existence of the group “portends grave danger to Nigeria’s national
security.” The Army also said its troops also killed an Islamic State of
West Africa Province media chief, Sale Ahmad, also known as Baban
Hassan, in a joint operation with the Nigerian Air Force.According to
the army, ISWAP is a faction of Boko Haram, directly affiliated to the
Islamic State and has attacked military troops and civilians in recent
times. The statement read in part, “The new leader of Jama’atu
Nus’ratul-Islami Wal Muslimina, Abdul-Fadl Lyad Gali, has been
identified. The group is a new terrorist group which Ansaru is
affiliated to. In the same vein, the identification of the leader of the
group would enable the army to target the group effectively using
advanced technologies in its arsenal. This is as the existence of group
portends grave danger to Nigeria’s national security.Reports available
reveal that one Sale Ahmad Sale, the leader of Al-Barnawi media group, a
faction of Boko Haram, was killed by a joint operation conducted by the
army and the air force. The killing of the media leader is indicative
of efforts by the army to eliminate key members of the sect. It is
worthy to note that the sect is directly affiliated to the Islamic State
and has carried out several attacks against troops and civilians in the
past.”The post Nigerian Army discovers new terrorist group in North-East appeared Nigerian Army discovers new terrorist group in North-East
