Troops Eliminate Terrorists, Recover Arms in Fresh North-East Offensive
Troops of the Operation HADIN KAI have sustained offensive operations across the North-East theatre, neutralising scores of terrorists and recovering arms and logistics items in renewed coordinated assaults.
The operations, conducted under Operation DESERT SANITY V, targeted terrorist enclaves in multiple sectors, according to a statement issued on Saturday by Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, Media Information Officer, Headquarters Joint Task Force (North East).
In Sector 2, troops working in conjunction with members of the Civilian Joint Task Force carried out a successful night operation around Muktum and Ngirbuwa villages. During the encounter, several terrorists were neutralised, while two AK-47 rifles, three motorcycles and mobile phones were recovered from the scene.

Military sources disclosed that further exploitation along the terrorists’ withdrawal route revealed drag marks and a shallow grave, suggesting additional enemy casualties sustained during the firefight.
In a related development, troops of Sector 1 engaged fleeing terrorists along the Bulayobe–Darel Jamel axis as the insurgents attempted to cross a Main Supply Route. The terrorists reportedly fled in disarray under sustained firepower, abandoning two sacks containing assorted logistics supplies believed to be meant for other terrorist elements.
The military high command noted that although the general security situation across the theatre remains calm, it is still unpredictable. Nevertheless, troops have maintained high morale and operational efficiency, continuing to dominate their areas of responsibility and disrupt terrorist activities.
The Headquarters of Operation HADIN KAI reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining offensive pressure against Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters until lasting peace and economic stability are fully restored across the North-East region.
