Gudumbali, a town in Borno State has been declared as the Caliphate headquarters of the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).

ISWAP stated Gudumbali is now its Manhaja Jundun Khilafah Wylaya West Africa.

SaharaReporters confirmed this from a post shared by the terrorists’ group on Monday.

Gudumbali is the head office of Guzamala Local Government Area of Borno State, Nigeria.

It’s located roughly 125 kilometres north of the state capital, Maiduguri.

Given that the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been combining its grip in places around Lake Chad.

Just just recently, it appointed Wali Sani Shuwaram, a 45-year-old as the brand-new Leader (Wali) of ISWAP in Lake Chad.

The sect’s membership has inflamed with the defection of numerous Boko Haram fighters under late Shekau.

The Nigerian Army has actually repeatedly claimed that insurgency had been mostly beat and the military frequently underplays any losses.

The horror group has triggered over 100,000 deaths and displaced millions of people generally in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states.
