Official statements reported recovery of a Sony camcorder and other items from the scene allegedly tied to the deceased ISWAP media operative. Nine days after the initial report of an unnamed cameraman killed, spokesperson Mohammed Goni named the deceased as Abu Salim al-Barnawi. Long-term monitors of Boko Haram and ISWAP media operations in the Lake Chad region supported the findings. Key translated excerpts:“Our brother Abu Salim, the media operative, Yusuf bin Muhammad al-Barnawi—may God accept him. He later moved into training in audio and video production as well as graphic design.”
