A counter-insurgency expert in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, confirmed the news in a post on his X platform, formerly Twitter, on Saturday.
He said heavy fighting broke out between the two groups at Tumbum Ali Island in Marte local government area of Borno State at about 2:00 p.m., with the commanders of the two groups killed in the battle.
