ISWAP Leader, Al-Barnawi Is Dead And Remains Dead—Nigeria's Defence Chief, Irabor Confirms Terrorist's Death

Nigeria's Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor has confirmed that the leader of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), Abu Musab Al-Barnawi, is dead.

Al-Barnawi was the son of Boko Haram founder, Mohammed Yusuf, who was also killed by security forces in 2009 when he launched a war against the Nigerian state.

Al- Barnawi was previously the spokesperson for the Islamists before he later became ISWAP leader following the death of Abubakar Shekau.

He was said to have been trained by ISIS before he became the ISWAP leader.

However, details of how and when he died are still sketchy and ISWAP has yet to formally announce Al-Barnawi's death.

Meanwhile, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Irabor said to journalists on Thursday, “I can authoritatively confirm to you that Al-Barnawi is dead. As simple as that. He is dead and remains dead.”

Irabor did not state how he died or if the military had any hand in his death.

It should be noted that the Nigerian Army goofed many times by announcing the death of the late Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, only for the terrorist leader to resurface shortly after, denying claims that he had been killed.

Sahara Reporters earlier reported in September that Abu Musab Al-Barnawi, was killed in Borno State.

Al-Barnawi sustained vicious attacks especially on military facilities and troops in the Lake Chad region while at the same time strategising on how to subdue Shekau.

He controlled large swathes of territory in Northern Borno, imposed taxes on the local population and earned income from fishing aside from the financial and material support he got from ISIS.

Al-Barnawi’s fighters had also destroyed many military camps in Dikwa, Monguno, Abadam and Marte in Borno; and other military facilities around Geidam in Yobe State.

He equally established many cells on the Lake Chad islands and surrounding villages from where his fighters launched attacks on Nigeria, Niger and Chad.

His death in August, after that of Shekau in May 2021, was seen as a turning point in the war against terror.

A version of the story of Al-Barnawi’s death said he was killed by Nigerian troops while another version said he died during a rival war within the ISWAP camp.

How

May Allah continue to protect our loyal troops against their adversaries

These ones, (Nigerian soldiers) always looking for people to deceive

Hope we will not hear that he's "DEAD" again next year

The killer of this man that the military dreads so much should head straight to Abuja for a national honor. He deserves to be decorated as 'Field Marshall'.

Hope this one doesn't have many lives like Shekau

Won't there be a replacement? The moment one dies, another replaces him.
At the end of the day, it is our troops that are wasting their lives here

Damnnn niggar
Even if the leader is dead....

It doesn't really reduce the power of iswap

Terrorist are like hydra when their head is cut off then expect an instant growth of another head from other parts of the body

Guess we should all await the return of the walking dead

Let's see his Shattered Body else we won't believe this... We don't want to Hear He's a Man with 9 Lives unlike Shekau...


If He's truly Dead, Kudus to the Nigerian Military.

Let him not die 15 times like Shekau

Oya make we see the picture of the corpse na?

Which one is dead and remain dead
He for die remain alive

Who cares

All terrorists, their supporters and sponsors will all end up like him before the end of this year.
Their blood will be used to wash this nation clean.
Evil and terrible end await them all.

Quote this post if you are one of them.
Anuofias.
Barawos.
Awon werey 100%

Aloof:
Who cares

Dettol cares.....

E pain am.
Na dem

At this point, you pity them.
You realize that they need prayers.
They hate everything good.
They hate anything uplifting.
They hate development.
They hate their country.
They even hate themselves.

What a pity!

If true, no wahala, because this was how Shekerau died seventeen times before ISWAP finally ended him..

I just hope it's not another lie by them..

Hope so

This defence they fear his reappearance

I can sense fear all over him

All this talk of he is dead he is dead is a normal thing
We have heard that about Shekau more than enough
Like say na Cat life they get

I hope he is actually dead and it won't turn out be another Shekau that had to die almost 10 times before his actual death.....

When another leader dey...maybe more badass sef
