In a shocking turn of events, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has claimed responsibility for the abduction and killing of Brigadier General M. Uba, a top Nigerian military officer. According to ISWAP’s statement released through its media wing, the group said the senior officer was captured alive, interrogated, and then executed on the spot following an ambush along the Damboa–Biu road in Borno State.
This chilling declaration has raised serious questions about the circumstances surrounding his death, the vulnerability of military movements in conflict zones, and possible intelligence leaks that enabled the terrorists to track the convoy.
The group ambushed the military convoy and captured Brig-Gen. Uba.
They said he was “interrogated” before being killed.
ISWAP circulated images showing the officer alive in their custody shortly before his execution.
Despite their claims, details of the interrogation have not been made public. The exact questions asked, the information sought, and what transpired during the process remain unknown. Security analysts say the incident exposes deep concerns about coordination, response time, and intelligence management in the region.
The incident has sparked fresh calls for
A full investigation into the convoy ambush
Better protection for frontline officers
Immediate reforms in intelligence handling
Many Nigerians are demanding transparency and accountability regarding how such a high-ranking officer could be abducted and killed in an active military zone.
