“The Islamic State has sacked Abu Mus’ab Albarnawi as the leader of its West African affiliate (ISWAP),” Salkida wrote on Twitter.
“The new Wali, according to an 18:13 audio recording, is Abu Abdullah Ibn Umar Albarnawi. No reason was given for the sack of Abu Musab (Habib).”
Musab is the eldest surviving son of Mohammed Yusuf, founder of Boko Haram, who was killed in 2009.
He was the spokesman of Boko Haram before the group pledged allegiance to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Boko Haram joined IS in 2015. It, however, split with the group in 2016 over leadership issues.
