Strike Against Terrorism: Al-Shabaab Leader Maalim Ayman Eliminated in Joint Operation

By -

In a significant victory against terrorism, Maalim Ayman, a high-ranking member of the notorious Al-Shabaab militant group operating in Somalia and Kenya, was successfully eliminated on December 17. The operation was a collaborative effort between Somali and US forces, as announced by Somali Minister for Information, Daud Aweis, on Friday.

According to Aweis, Ayman played a pivotal role in orchestrating multiple deadly terrorist attacks in Somalia and neighboring countries. His most notorious act was the terrorist assault on the Manda Bay Airfield in Kenya on January 5, 2020, where US and Kenyan personnel were targeted. This attack resulted in the tragic loss of three American lives, including a soldier and two civilian contractors. Additionally, two US service members and one civilian contractor sustained injuries, as reported by the US Department of State.

The gravity of Ayman's actions prompted the US government to issue a substantial bounty of up to $10 million for any information leading to his arrest or conviction. This reward, active since January of this year, underscores the urgency and determination of the international community to bring Ayman to justice.

It is crucial to note that Al-Shabaab has been officially designated as a terrorist group by the United States in 2008 and by a UN Security Council committee in 2010. The recent successful operation against Maalim Ayman is a significant blow to the organization's leadership, reinforcing the commitment of nations to collaborate and combat terrorism on a global scale.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
