The Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP) has eliminated a top Boko Haram commander, Mohammed Reejal.

Reejal was taken out on Sunday at Tokombare, a location within Sambisa Forest.

ISWAP attacked dozens of their rivals who were heading to a nearby destination.

Apart from Reejal, some Boko Haram members were also killed in seeming retaliation.

In late March, Boko Haram ambushed and killed ISWAP members near Lake Chad in a renewed war of supremacy.

Boko Haram fighters loyal to Buduma paraded the captives, slaughtered and dumped them in makeshift graves.
