Terrorists of the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) have reportedly killed at least seven Nigerian soldiers and four local vigilantes at the Marte-Dikwa axis of Borno State.
The ISWAP terrorists planted an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on the road, which the military convoy traveling from Marte to Maiduguri ran into.
The military convoy vehicles were escorting soldiers that were granted leave passes from the Marte unit.
An intelligence officer disclosed to the news outlet that the soldiers were ambushed around Ala village situated between Marte-Dikwa town in Borno.
“One of the military vehicles stepped on the IED planted by the terrorists.
“The terrorists who were hidden around the spot opened fire at the other vehicles, leading to the death of at least seven soldiers and four local security vigilantes who are part of the convoy,” the source said.
The ambush is part of ISWAP’s fighting strategies as it consolidates its hold on Sambisa axis after the withdrawal of Boko Haram. According to sources, the terrorists were led by Aboubacar Oucacha Fiya.

We Won’t Allow ISWAP Terrorists, Foreigners Take Over Nigeria – Military
The Theatre Commander, Operation Hadin Kai, Major-General Christopher Musa, says the Nigerian military will not allow a foreign terrorist group, the Islamic States West African Province (ISWAP) to have a strong footing in Nigeria
Major-General Musa disclosed this in an interview with journalists in Maiduguri on Wednesday.
He noted that the ISWAP terrorist group was a foreign terrorist organisation being sponsored by foreigners with some local collaborations. He added that the terrorists that were refusing to surrender belonged to ISWAP.
According to Musa, ISWAP is a foreign terrorist organisation that is funded by foreigners and probably some locals but mostly foreign and then they have foreign leadership which means they have no stake in Nigeria.
“It is very clear that ISWAP are foreigners coming to invade our country which we will never allow to happen.
“That is why I want to encourage those of them, especially those members that are with them to pull out and understand that they have no stake in what those guys are doing.
“They don’t wish the country well, they don’t wish themselves well and we will never allow any foreigner step an inch on ground in Nigeria,” he said.
The theatre commander stated that the Nigerian military had advised the governments on the need to adopt the system of involving the victims of terrorism in dialogue on the handling of the surrendered insurgents
