A splinter group of the Boko Haram terrorists, the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP), has reportedly killed one of its top Commanders, Abu-Sadiq popularly known as Burbur, the deputy to Abubakar Shekau, over his alleged plans to surrender to government forces.
According to information reaching Town Crier News, Burbur was eliminated in Galta village, close to Madagali in Adamawa State, after he was charged and ‘found guilty’ of ‘treasonable felony’ by a purported court presided over by Ya-Shaik, an ISWAP Fiye (Militant Chief), of Sambisa forest.
Bubur was said to have been held in an ISWAP prison in the major part of last month after he was captured and eventual elimination Monday, May 9.
Before his death, Burbur’s last appointment as gathered was Deputy Militant Chief (Nai’b), in Charge of Sambisa Forest and Timbuktu Triangle.
The appointment was made in May 2021 when he paid allegiance to ISWAP, because of his deep knowledge of the terrain and his strategic former appointment as the Operation Commander and Aide-de-Camp to late Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau.
