A verified image obtained by ABC has confirmed that General M. Uba is currently in the custody of ISWAP insurgents, sustaining what appears to be a gunshot wound to his leg.
The photograph, which surfaced late Monday, was subjected to rigorous authentication — including detailed frame-by-frame analysis, geolocation matching, and corroboration from independent security sources familiar with both the terrain and the unfolding incident. Experts involved in the verification say all indicators point to the image being genuine.
Security analysts warn that the development underscores a worrying escalation in ISWAP’s operations, noting that the capture of a senior military figure marks a significant breach with potential strategic implications.
Authorities have yet to issue an official statement, but multiple sources indicate that efforts are underway to gather clearer intelligence and coordinate a response.
The situation remains tense as the military and intelligence community scramble for updates on the General’s condition and the circumstances surrounding the abduction.
