Armed Forces Target Key Terrorist Leaders with Massive Bounties

The Nigerian Army has declared a combined N60m bounty on two of the most wanted leaders from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), including their governor, Abu Musa Al-Mangawi Baa Shuwa, and his deputy, Muhammad Jidda. According to Acting Military Information Officer Capt Muhammed Goni, this reward reflects the group's involvement in terrorist activities in the Lake Chad Basin.

Following successful military operations in the region, troops recovered several high-value technical devices and intelligence materials. After forensic analysis of these items, their identities have become clear. This move aims to boost public awareness and support for counter-terrorism efforts in Borno State.

Note: The military offers a N50m reward for credible information leading to the arrest of ISWAP's governor and an additional N10m for his deputy. Information can be reported through established security channels or by contacting 07084988859.

Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) has had significant successes, uncovering identities of several senior ISWAP leaders and key operatives in the Mangari–Metele–Dogon Chukun axis along the fringes of Lake Chad.
