Fierce rivalry clashes between Boko Haram and the Islamic State of West African Province terror groups escalated in the Lake Chad Basin over the last week have claimed over 100 of the fighters of both groups.
Before the clashes, Boko Haram JAS had moved several fighters from the upper parts of the riverine Niger to take defensive positions in Kukawa in Borno, while another set of armed fighters were moved to the Nigeria- Cameroon borders, occupying Dawashi, Dabar Wanzam, Kiri Bulla in Kukawa as well as Lokobili and Kandahar in Cameroon.
The ISWAP elements later seized six of JAS Boko Haram's motorcycles and destroyed them in the process. The ISWAP fighters chased the fleeing Boko Haram fighters to the axis of Kariya and Koleram in Kukawa, which led to another gun battle. The intensified rival clashes forced about 10 Boko Haram fighters to surrender with arms to the troops of Sector 4, Multinational Joint Task Force at Nguiguimi, Diffa region, Niger Republic. The JAS group, led by Ibrahim Bakura Doro, aka Bakaura Buduma, has remained a formidable enemy of ISWAP ever since Shekau's death. It has repeatedly attacked ISWAP positions around the lake.
