Intelligence sources also told Makama that the clash began in the camp
of Yuwe, which triggered a heavy firefight and Ngulde’s fighters overpowered
the ISWAP elements and neutralized about 12 of them and seized their weapons.

more fighters from Abu Ikilima’s camp at Gaizuwa, Gabchari, Mantari and Mallum
Masari.
