The post read: “ISWAP attacked the Nigerian military camp in Benisheikh, northeast Nigeria.

“Large fire sources were detected from inside the camp and according to security reports, Commanding Officer O.O. Braimah was killed during the attack.”

In another post, Philip added, “The Nigerian Commanding Officer killed by ISWAP during last night’s attack in Benisheikh was ranked Brigadier General, the highest level officer killed since the ambush that took the life of Brigadier General Uba late 2025 in Borno State as well.”

There are reports that local sources disclosed that civilians, a member of the Civilian Joint Task Force, CJTF, security operatives, and several insurgents were also killed during the coordinated attacks carried out in Benesheikh town and Pulka community in Gwoza Local Government Area.
