High-ranking Boko Haram b%mb maker, Awana Gaidam, reportedly k#lled by his own I£D in Sambisa forest
In what can be described as a major breakthrough for the the Nigerian military operations in the North-East region and to also confirm that all is not well within the Boko Haram t£rrorists’ camp, a chief b%mb maker and high ranking t£rrorist, Awana Gaidam, has been k#lled by his own Improvised Explosive Device (IED).
It is reported that the 39-year-old b%mb maker, apart from his high status in the command structure of the Boko Haram t£rrorists, was one of their capable hands involved in making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
Awana was believed to be responsible for plotting many IEDs att@cks troops of Operation Hadin Kai during fighting patrols, along major highways between Maiduguri to Damboa, Bama to Pulka and Bita as well as Banki to Darajamal general area.
Intelligence Sources report that the b%mb struck his vehicle along Njumia and Arra in the Sambisa forest general area on March 27, k#lling him instantly.
The sources disclosed that Awana had planted b%mbs in strategic positions to fortify his camp within the Sambisa forest but little did he know that his evil plot to k#ll soldiers and derail military operations in the general area, would only come back to claim his life as the explosive device and sh@ttered his body into several pieces.
For some perspective on the immense proportions of this development, since 2022, Boko Haram and ISWAP have carried out more than 90 att@cks in the North East using IEDs. The insurgents resorted to the use of IEDs as a result of the increased and sustained pressure of the Joint Task Force Operation Hadin Kai with support of the combined troops of the Multination Joint Task Force (MNJTF), Niger, Cameroon and Chad in the Lake Chad sub-region.
Therefore, the k#lling of Awada, represents a serious blow to the operational capability of the t£rrorists.His d£ath could can best be described as a major breakthrough in the Nigerian military’s Counter Terrorism Operation in the North East.
