Series of meetings are being held in Sabeel Huda camp in the heart of Sambisa forest between ISWAP commanders and other surrendered senior Boko Haram members.
The fate of the arrested opposing fighters would be decided by Albarnawy’s disciplinary Committee, headed by one Muhammad Malumma, ISWAP’s Chief Judge.
The leadership has vowed to eliminate all terrorists belonging to the Shekau group if they fail to bow.
An intelligence operative said an intercepted communication between ISWAP leaders indicated that a committee led by Abu-Mosad Albarnawy, a self-proclaimed appointee of Amirul Mu’uminoon, (ISIS Caliphate Leader) had dissolved all Shekau’s structures.
