Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have eliminated 10 terrorists in a night operation along the Gamboru–Dikwa–Marte axis of Borno State, following an earlier operation that eliminated over 50 insurgents around Katarko.
The latest engagement, carried out by Sector 1 troops of the 24 Task Force Brigade, successfully thwarted an attempted infiltration by terrorists from the Flatari axis into Gamboru Ngala.
After suffering losses, the insurgents diverted toward Dikwa but were taken off guard again along the Dikwa–Marte route.
The troops at late Saturday night carried out the operation which due to heavy and accurate firepower forced them to retreat.
At dawn, troops conducted a clearance operation which confirmed 10 terrorists had been taken down.
Several arms and equipment were recovered, including five AK-47 rifles, a PKT machine gun, locally made firearms, a large cache of ammunition, motorcycles, bicycles, a radio, and personal belongings.
The Military High Command praised the troops for their gallantry and tactical expertise, reaffirming its commitment to sustained counter-insurgency operations aimed at restoring peace and stability in the North-East.
