According to our report, roughly 200 fighters have been killed in northeast Nigeria amid fierce clashes between Boko Haram’s Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunna lid-Da‘wa wa’l-Jihād (JAS) and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Dogon Chiku, Borno State.
The confrontation, marking the fifth day of hostilities, erupted over control of Toumbun Gini island near Lake Chad. ISWAP launched an amphibious assault with ten boats, but JAS, forewarned, executed a counter-ambush, seizing seven boats and inflicting heavy casualties. Intelligence sources and a former Boko Haram member confirmed the toll to AFP.
This escalation underscores the deepening rift between the two factions, which split in 2016, now competing over territory and resources. Analysts warn displaced ISWAP fighters may threaten nearby mainland communities, stressing the need for heightened surveillance. The incident highlights persistent security challenges in stabilizing northeast Nigeria.
