Troops of Headquarters Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), have sustained offensive operations across the North East theatre under Operation D⁷ESERT SANITY V, recording notable successes against terrorist elements.
In a statement issued by the Media Information Officer, Headquarters Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI, Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, troops operating in Sector 2, in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force, neutralised scores of terrorists during a night operation around Muktum and Ngirbuwa villages.
According to the statement, troops recovered two AK-47 rifles, three motorcycles and several mobile phones from the scene. Further exploitation along the terrorists’ withdrawal route revealed drag marks and a shallow grave, suggesting additional enemy casualties.
In a related development, troops of Sector 1 conducting operations along the Bulayobe–Darel Jamel axis engaged fleeing terrorists attempting to cross the Main Supply Route. The terrorists reportedly fled in disarray, abandoning two sacks containing assorted logistics items suspected to be supplies for other terrorist elements.
The statement noted that while the general security situation across the theatre remains calm, it is still unpredictable. However, troops’ morale and fighting efficiency remain high as they continue to dominate their areas of responsibility and disrupt terrorist activities.
Headquarters Operation HADIN KAI reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining sustained pressure on Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists until lasting peace and economic stability are fully restored in the North East region.
