Renowned security analyst and counterinsurgency expert Zagazola Makama has reported another chilling atrocity by Boko Haram terrorists, who have murdered the Imam of Kolofata in Northern Cameroon.
Taking to his official X handle, Makama revealed that the extremists had kidnapped the prominent cleric earlier in the week before sharing a harrowing video online, which captured the barbaric execution.
Intelligence sources, as cited by Makama, confirmed the sequence of events, which underscore the brazen and ruthless nature of the terrorist group operating across the Lake Chad Basin. This heinous act sends shockwaves across the region, targeting not just individuals but the very fabric of peace and spirituality in vulnerable communities.
The Nigerian military, under the purview of @DefenceInfoNG and @HQNigerianArmy, has intensified its regional counterterrorism operations. Still, the recent killing highlights the persistent threat posed by the insurgents, particularly to religious leaders and community figures who are seen as beacons of stability.
This latest incident is a somber reminder of the urgent need for a coordinated, multi-national response to combat the rising tide of extremism and to safeguard the lives and livelihoods of those caught in the crossfire of Boko Haram’s reign of terror.
