BREAKING: ISWAP Leader, Sani Shuwaram Killed By Nigerian Military Airstrikes, Replacement Nominated
After airstrikes targeted the Marte axis, the dreaded leader of the Islamic State of West African Province, ISWAP, Sani Shuwaram, and other ISWAP militants may have been killed.
According to PRNigeria, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) used Super Tucano jets and other aircraft to target the axis where Shuwaram’s camps are located.
Shuwaram was believed to have died from gunshot wounds he received when military fighter jets assaulted the ISWAP camp in the Sabon Tumbuns vicinity of Lake Chad.
A highly placed intelligence source participating in the counter-insurgency campaign in the North-East who confided in PRNigeria confirmed the killing of Shuwaram.
“Shuwaram was among terrorists injured by NAF air interdiction missions conducted at Sabon Tumbuns near Kirta Wulgo in February 2022.
Subsequent airstrikes in the following days might have led to his death alongside other ISWAP fighters where they were receiving treatment including Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi,” the source added.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that one Mallam Bako Gorgore has been nominated as the new Wali of ISWAP to replace Shuwaram.

When contacted, NAF Spokesperson, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet who declined to confirm the death of Shuwaram said that NAF aircraft with the support of ground troops had sustained a military offensive at Tumbuns, close to Kirta Wulgo in Marte LGA within the Lake Chad Region.
Gabkwet said: “I cannot confirm the death of any leaders of terrorists. We don’t want to be dragged into making any statement or confirmation based on rumours or hearsay.
Nevertheless, our troops at the frontline alongside other agencies have sustained massive strike at the hearts of terrorist leaders and their enclaves until we get this job done”.
Members of the ISWAP Shura (Judicial) Council, in November 2021, appointed Shuwaram, 45, as a new Leader (Wali) in Lake Chad.
Shuwaram was sworn by an Alkali (Judge) Bukar Arge, in a brief ceremony in KURNAWA, a remote camp in the Lake Chad Basin fringes, considered as the de-facto headquarters of ISWAP, in the Abadam Local Government Area of Borno state.
