The Digest:

The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has published censored images and personal WhatsApp chats of the late Brigadier General Musa UBA. The graphic content featured in the group's Al-Naba newspaper follows an ambush that killed the senior officer and other personnel in Borno State last Friday.

Key Points:
  • ISWAP ambushed a military and Civilian JTF convoy in Borno on November 18.
  • Brigadier General Musa Uba was killed during the attack.
  • The group featured censored images of his body in its Al-Naba newsletter.
  • Screenshots of the general's personal WhatsApp chats were also published.
  • The publication appeared in Issue 522 of the terrorist group's newspaper.
  • ISWAP also claimed a separate attack on the Damboa Brigade Headquarters.
  • Images of a beheading in Gorobatcha, Borno, were circulated.
The dissemination of such personal and violent material marks a chilling tactic, aiming not just to claim a military victory, but to inflict a deeper, psychological wound on a nation’s consciousness.
