Troops Kill 50 Iswap Commanders

The Nigerian Army says its troops attached to Operation Hadin Kai have killed no fewer than 50 Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) Commanders during a counteroffensive in Askira Uba Local Government Area of Borno State.

It would be recalled that ISWAP fighters had on Saturday ambushed the troops’ camp after the Commander 28 Task Force Brigade and Brigadier General Dzarma Zirkusu and three soldiers were killed during the attack.

But the troops in a retaliatory attack destroyed the terrorists’ Ambush Protected vehicle and Gun Trucks and neutralized 50 commanders and several other ISWAP fighters were also killed.

Spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement, explained that troops of 115 Task Force Battalion conducted dawn exploitation towards Leho village and environs.

Speaking on Inspiration FM’s All Out Politics, a security expert, Tunji Olanrewaju said it was a sad development that a Brigadier General could be targeted.

Tunji Olanrewaju said the warning by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Army, Senator Ali Ndume about the regrouping of ISWAP terrorists around the Lake Chad axis, should be taken seriously.

Scotland Stun Denmark At Home To Earn A Playoff Spot Ahead Of Qatar 2022

Scotland Stun Denmark At Home

Scotland secured a well-deserved spot in the World Cup play-off semi-finals as goals from John Souttar and Che Adams stunned Denmark with a thrilling performance on home turf at Hampden Park.

Scotland started with real intent, being aided by the thundering sounds of the packed stands, as they began at a frenetic pace.

Steve Clarke's Group F runners-up needed at least a point against the runaway leaders to give themselves a chance of a home draw.

However, Denmark survived the early pressure to create the first chance after 10 minutes and remind Scotland of their threat.

But centre-half Souttar headed home in his first Scotland game since being sent off in a 2018 defeat by Israel and striker Adams burst clear to settle growing nerves after 86 minutes.

Scotland had narrowly edged it after a couple of nervy results in the qualifiers but found some renaissance and left it late in the closing stages before that breakaway goal secured a sixth competitive victory in succession for the first time since winning six Home Nations matches in a row between March 1928 and February 1930.

The victory ended Denmark's six-game winning run since losing 2-1 to England at the semi-final stage of the Euro 2020 finals this summer and ensured they fell short of ending their qualification campaign with a 100% record.
