Nigerian troops of Operation Hadin Kai have eliminated
another top commander of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), Amir
Kennami.
Kennami also known as ‘One Eye General’, was confirmed dead
hours after a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) strike hit the sect’s logistics
commander, Modu Sulum.
Kennami had sustained serious wounds during a gun duel with
the troops of 134 Special Forces Battalion.
Lt. Col. Ishaya Aliyu Manga led the offensive carried out along the Gubio-Magumeri axis of the Northern Lake Chad area.
The operation took out other ISWAP fighters but those who
survived helped Kennami to escape after bullets hit his lap and stomach.
The terrorist later died and was secretly buried by close
aides at Gudumbali, the headquarters of Guzamala Local Government Area of
Borno.
Kennami gave orders to other dreaded commanders like
Ba-Lawan, Modu Sulum and Amir Modu Borzogo.
An intelligence source told PRNigeria that Kennami
terrorized Magumeri, Nganzai and Gubio axis and led many attacks to dislodge
military bases and formations.
The one-eyed kingpin supervised territories where he carried
out atrocities: Damboa LGA – Bugadam, Talala, Ajigin, Mungusum Gwagwari,
Abulam, Ajigin and Doksa villages.
Others were Gujba LGA – Lamisuri, Bijur and Dalari villages;
Kaga LGA – Borgozo, Alagarno, Goniri Marguba villages, and Konduga LGA – Jewu
Lamboa and Limlim villages.
“Over the years, he grew in influence in the ISWAP
territorial base on the banks, islands of Lake Chad, and was known for the
deployment of so-called spiritual warfare tactics during attacks”, the officer
said.
