flag ISWAP commander Amir Musa killed in Borno State by his own IED, amid internal strife.

flag A senior Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) commander, Amir Musa, was killed on February 24 in Borno State, Nigeria, when an improvised explosive device he had allegedly planted detonated, according to security sources. flag The incident occurred amid escalating internal tensions following the deaths of two other senior ISWAP figures, Abu Kasim and Abu Nazir, whose killings have triggered allegations of friendly fire, poor coordination, and infighting. flag The violence underscores ongoing divisions between ISWAP and rival Boko Haram factions, despite their shared roots, and may weaken the group’s operational effectiveness as Nigerian forces continue counterinsurgency operations in the region.
