6 years after two Ghanaians joinef the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and almost 12 years after Nigerian Umar Faruk Abdulmutallab used Accra as a transit to Amsterdam for a failed plane bombing, a Ghanaian suicide bomber, Abu Dujana, has detonated a suicide car bomb at a French Reconnaissance camp inside Mali, MyNewsGh.com can authoritatively report.
The car bomb was detonated by the Ghanaian suicide bomber near French military forces in the Kaigourou neighbourhood of Gossi in Mali, leaving at least twelve people including 8 French soldiers and 4 residents with very fatal injuries. Abu Dujana didn’t survive.
Abu, who pre-recorded a video before the attack revealed he is a native of Karaga in the Northern Region of Ghana.
He detonated the explosives on the instructions of terrorist coalition the Jama’a Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin popularly known by its acronym JNIM or its French name Groupe de soutien à l’Islam et aux Musulmans (GSIM).
85% of all terrorist bombings in Mali and Burkina Faso are reportedly carried out by this JNIM group which is a merger of terrorist groups Ansar Dine, the Macina Liberation Front (FLM), Al-Mourabitoun and Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). JNIM is the official branch of Al-Qaeda in Mali, after its leaders swore allegiance to Ayman al-Zawahiri, the global terror kingpin after Osama Bin Laden.
Based on checks, Abu Dujana is suspected to have changed his actual name and adopted the “Abu Dujana” name when he joined the terrorists.
