Fresh intelligence has revealed that the joint Nigerian–United States airstrike which eliminated notorious ISWAP commander Abubakar Mainok, also known as Abu Bilal Al‑Mainuki (Abbor Mainok), simultaneously wiped out three of his most trusted lieutenants.

Counter‑insurgency expert Zagazola Makama disclosed that battle damage assessments and multiple intelligence sources verified the deaths during the precision strike on Mainok’s hideout in the Lake Chad Islands, west of Dogon Chukun.

According to security sources, the slain aides included Abu Huraira, Ba Yuram, and Mallam Haruna, figures described as the operational, logistical, and security backbone of ISWAP.

Abu Huraira, Fiya of Tumbun Mota and Mainok’s son‑in‑law, coordinated field operations and maintained influence over fighters in the Tumbun Mota axis.
