ISWAP claims responsibility for Konduga, Mainuk and Jakana attacks

After claiming the Konduga, Mainuk and Jakana attacks, ISWAP has also claimed responsibility for the attack on the Nigerian military camp in Marte, which happened on the same night.

ISWAP terrorists report to have stormed the camp, destroying and disabling four armored vehicles and killing three soldiers.

The militants also carted away large amounts of weapons and ammunition, along with five vehicles, ISWAP also admits that in this battle they lost a few of their fighters due to airstrikes.

Analysts say security situation in Borno seems to be very grim this year as ISWAP offensive against the Nigerian army is way more intense than last year.

This is the first time ISWAP has managed to successfully storm and dislodge four camps of the Nigerian army in a single night.

A security with knowledge of the attack noted that while this is not the first time the group has attempted it, it is the first time simultaneous attacks of this scale have been this successful, and judging from the reports it seems that the Nigerian Air Force was overwhelmed and could only intervene in Marte, leaving Konduga, Mainuk and Jakana, and even then the NAF was too late.
