BREAKING: ISWAP Fighters Kill Boko Haram Commander, Ali Gana

Ali Gana Alhaji Ali, the Boko Haram Commander in charge of Sambisa and Gwoza enclaves, has been killed by fighters of Islamic State West African Province (ISWAP) on Gwoza hill in Borno State.

VerseNews gathered that Ali was known as one of the deadliest terrorist leaders in Borno and was responsible for numerous killings in the region.

A security source who confirmed his death said ISWAP fighters ambushed and killed him on Sunday, October 1st, 2023.

Ali was notorious for instilling fear in communities, farmers, and commuters in the Gwoza area, with frequent attacks and slaughters.

“He was the deputy of the late Ali Ngulde, and apart from Shekau, nobody killed human beings like him from Sambisa forest and Bayan Dutsen Gwoza.

“He was a crude killer. His foot terrorists in Gwoza areas constantly instil fear on communities, farmers and commuters along Pulka, Bankin, Bama and Gwoza Mubi routes.

“They take no prisoners, people are slaughtered in their farms on a weekly basis. Gwoza people will surely celebrate his demise,” the source said.

This is coming over two years after the leader of Boko Haram terrorists, Abubakar Shekau, blew himself up during a deadly confrontation with the ISWAP fighters in May 2021.

Last week, the member representing Goza, Damboa and Chibok federal constituency in the National Assembly, Usman Ahmed Jaha, decried the killing of 10 farmers in 10 days in the Goza axis.
