ISWAP Executes Alleged Army Spies and Raids Police Officer's Homes in Northeast Nigeria

The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has carried out new attacks in Northeast Nigeria, executing two individuals accused of spying for the Nigerian Army and raiding the properties of a police officer.

The incidents, reported by security analyst Brant Philip, highlight continued militant activity in the region. Below is a summary of the key events:

| Incident | Location | Reported Details |

| Execution of Alleged Spies | Dekwa, Yobe & near Gubio, Borno | Two individuals accused of being army spies were killed. One was captured at home, and a vehicle was seized. |

| Raid on Police Properties | Tetiba, Yobe State | Three houses belonging to Police Officer-in-Charge Mohammed Modu were set ablaze. Motorcycles and vehicles were stolen. No casualties were reported. |

Details of the Incidents


Security expert Brant Philip stated that ISWAP executed two alleged spies loyal to the Nigerian army. One was captured in his home in Dekwa, Yobe State, and another near Gubio, Borno State. 

These killings bring the total number of public executions by the group in recent days to nine. Philip suggested this spike is likely a preemptive measure "to take out all the moles" ahead of a rumored joint US-Nigeria military offensive against the terrorist group.

In a separate operation in Tetiba, Yobe State, ISWAP militants raided three houses belonging to a Nigerian police officer, Officer-in-Charge Mohammed Modu. Acting on local intelligence, the terrorists set the houses ablaze and confiscated motorcycles and vehicles. No casualties were reported from this raid.

These events occur amidst a backdrop of sustained security operations and militant activity in Nigeria's northeastern states.

Sheikh Gumi Alleges Foreign Powers are Financing Terrorists in Nigeria

Prominent Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has accused unnamed foreign nations of supporting terrorist groups in Nigeria, citing a sudden reversal of security gains in recent months as evidence of external interference. In a significant and provocative claim, Nigerian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has alleged that international actors are providing backing to terrorists operating within the country. During an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, Sheikh Gumi pointed to deteriorating security in areas that had shown marked improvement. He specifically highlighted the Abuja-Kaduna highway, which had become safer for travelers, and the farmlands around Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, where farmers had cautiously returned to their fields after years of abandonment. "The situation on the ground contradicts earlier signs of improvement," Gumi stated, arguing that the recent surge in attacks suggests renewed support for armed groups. "This sudden rever...

DSS Arrests Medical Doctor Accused of Supplying Drugs to Kwara Kidnapping Syndicate

Intelligence-led operation in Jebba uncovers healthcare professional allegedly aiding criminal networks. In a significant breakthrough, Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) has apprehended a licensed medical doctor for his alleged role in supporting kidnapping gangs terrorizing parts of Kwara State.
