Victorious Nigerian troops
By ZAGAZOLA MAKAMA
Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have successfully disrupted the movement of ISWAP terrorists in an ambush along the Banki axis of Borno State, recovering weapons and neutralising one terrorist.
Zagazola Makama learnt reliably that the operation was conducted between Nov. 13 and the early hours of Nov. 14.
Sources said the ambush team made contact with terrorists mounted on motorcycles and carrying assorted weapons as they moved from Bula-Daloye towards the Mandara Mountains.
The sources said the troops engaged the terrorists with superior firepower, forcing them to flee in disarray.
“During exploitation of the general area, troops recovered one terrorist corpse, one AK-47 rifle, two AK-47 magazines, and two motorcycles,” he said.
The sources added that an unconfirmed number of fleeing terrorists were suspected to have escaped with gunshot wounds.
The sources confirmed that no casualty was recorded on the part of the troops, and no equipment was lost in the operation.
The operation is part of ongoing efforts by the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation Hadin Kai to deny terrorists freedom of movement and degrade their capability across the theatre.
