Scores of Boko Haram

... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
fighters have reportedly been killed by Chadian troops during a fresh clash somewhere between Marte and Lokobadu area in Chad.

Zagazola Makama, a counterinsurgency expert and security analyst in the Lake Chad region disclosed this in a post on his X handle on Thursday.

In his post, Zagazola said that the gunnies earlier attacked some local fishermen and seized their boats in the axis of Marte and this was what led to the shootout between them and the Chadian security forces.

He wrote, "The Chadian troops have reportedly clashed with the Boko Haram Buduma gunnies loyal to Abu Ali, during a fighting patrol with several gunnies killed.

"The gunnies had earlier seized boats from fishermen in the axis of Marte and headed toward Lokobadu, but the Chadian troops intercepted them and neutralised several of them, seized logistics, weapons and bombs.

"Those who escaped the onslaught were trailed and neutralised along the southern rim of Lake Chad, near the Chad-Cameroon
...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there...
-Nigeria border by the Chadian Airforce."

The Boko Haram fighters, backed by the deadlier Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
West Africa terrorists, appear to be gaining more strongholds from across the Lake Chad region into Nigeria, especially after the death of Chad President Idriss Deby.

In a similar incident, SaharaReporters reported how the Chadian troops killed over 22 Boko Haram fighters who crossed from Nigeria into Chad in May 2021.

A source in the Nigerian Army explained that the gunnies had crossed via Borno into Chad to attack but were repelled by the Chadian troops.

He told SaharaReporters that scores of the bad boyz were potted, but only about 22 of them were captured.

"Boko Haram gunnies crossed from Nigeria border into Chad yesterday evening for an attack, but the Chadian troops killed scores of them. The visible bodies are 22, but tens of bodies were laid on the outskirts of the village," the source had said
