Troops of Sector 2, Operation Hadin Kai, OPHK, in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force, have neutralised three Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists during a clearance operation in Borno State.
The development was disclosed on Saturday by security analyst, Zagazola Makama, via a post on X.
According to the report, the joint offensive operation extended deep into the Bulabulin forest axis towards Magumeri, where troops engaged the insurgents in a fierce gun battle around the Borno Yesu general area.
The air component of OPHK reportedly provided close air support and surveillance, enabling ground troops to overrun the terrorists’ position.
“At the end of the encounter, three terrorists were neutralised. Troops recovered three AK-47 rifles, four fully loaded magazines, 120 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, grenades, two bandoliers, combat packs, and two brand new motorcycles,” a military source said.
The source added that Special Forces Tactical Teams continued to dominate the area, with efforts underway to disrupt terrorist logistics and deny them freedom of movement.
The military recently intensified operations in the North-East as part of ongoing efforts to restore normalcy and ensure the safe return of displaced residents.
