Troops of the Nigerian Army have neutralised six terrorists, arrested 11 suspected collaborators and received the surrender of a Jama\u2019atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda\u2019awati wal-Jihad (JAS) member in Borno.<\/p>\n

This is contained in an operational report made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Sunday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The report said the operations, conducted by troops of the Joint Task Force North-East, Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), targeted terrorist fighters and suspected support networks in Kaga and Gwoza Local Government Areas.<\/p>\n

It said troops of 29 Task Force Brigade Garrison, supported by Hybrid Force personnel, ambushed suspected Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP)\/JAS terrorists along the Targejeri axis of Kaga at about 12:37 a.m. on Oct. 25.<\/p>\n

According to the report, six terrorists were neutralised during the encounter, while troops recovered an AK-47 rifle, three magazines and 169 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther recovered items included two Android phones, three button phones and charms.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a related development, troops arrested six additional suspected terrorist collaborators during a follow-up raid in Benisheikh, Kaga, at about 6:20 a.m. on Oct. 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe arrests brought the number of suspects apprehended in connection with the investigation to 11, including five earlier arrests.<\/p>\n

\u201cItems listed as recovered during the raid included an AK-47 rifle, three empty magazines, 169 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, three terrorist uniforms, a turban, a head mask, two Android phones, three button phones and charms,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The report said the suspects were undergoing investigation to establish their alleged involvement in terrorist activities and identify possible links to other members of the network.<\/p>\n

It added that troops of 192 Battalion (Main), supported by Hybrid Force personnel at Hambagda Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in Gwoza, received a JAS member who surrendered at about 9:20 p.m. on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to the report, preliminary investigation indicated that the individual had escaped from a terrorist enclave in the Mandara Mountains area of Gwoza and decided to abandon terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe individual surrendered with an AK-47 rifle and a magazine containing 28 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

The report said the defector was in custody undergoing further investigation and processing in line with established procedures.<\/p>\n

It said the operations underscore OPHK\u2019s continued efforts to disrupt terrorist activities, dismantle support networks and encourage defections through sustained, intelligence-led operations.<\/p>\n

The military urged members of the public to provide credible and timely information to security agencies to support efforts to restore peace and enable displaced communities to return safely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
