The fight against insurgency in
Nigeria has yielded another success with the killing of a female member
of the once dreaded Boko Haram.
The female Boko Haram was reportedly killed in a confrontation with security forces
The
sect was recently routed out of the Sambisa forest, a vast area
bordering Borno state, the most affected with other neighbouring states
in the north-east.
Though
the name of the female fighter has not been made known at the time of
this report, it has brought to the fore a new narrative.
Before this most recent incident,
it was believed that the Boko Haram sect mainly used men as fighters
while the members victimized the womenfolk using them as spies and
lacing them with improvised explosive devices for detonation at spots.
This
has continued even after the Nigerian Army, with support from the
civilian-Joint Task Force (CJTF), led by Muazu Alhaji Misiya, has
decimated the camp of the insurgents.
Misiya, who posted the photographs, expressed shock that the fighter was actually thought to be a man until she was killed.
