Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), have neutralised 44 suspected members of Boko Haram\/ISWAP terrorists during several offensive operations in some parts of Borno State.<\/p>\n

The encounter also left scores of terrorists injured, with destruction of their vehicles, motorcycles and Improvised Explosive Device (IED) materials.<\/p>\n

These were disclosed by the Acting Media Information Officer, Headquarters Joint Task Force North East Operation HADIN KAI, Captain Mohammed Goni in a press statement on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cTroops of OPHK has sustained its offensive against terrorist elements through coordinated intelligence-led operations across the theatre.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 26 October 2026, troops conducted engagements against suspected terrorist elements at separate locations in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State, following intelligence reports and surveillance observations.<\/p>\n

\u201cBattle Damage Assessment indicated that 28 terrorists were neutralised, while six others reportedly sustained injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn further operations on 28 October 2026, the Maritime Component, Naval Base Lake Chad deployed in Baga, conducted offensive actions against terrorist targets within the Lake Chad area.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreliminary assessments indicated that eight terrorists were neutralised, while 10 others reportedly sustained varying degrees of injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeparately, an air interdiction mission successfully disrupted a suspected terrorist improvised explosive device (IED)-laying operation, neutralising eight operatives and destroying their vehicle, motorcycles and IED materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe operation prevented the terrorist team from proceeding with its planned activity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese successes reflect the sustained pressure being exerted on terrorist networks through intelligence-led joint operations,\u201d Goni explained.<\/p>\n

He noted that OPHK remains committed to degrading terrorist capabilities, restricting their freedom of action and protecting communities across the North East.<\/p>\n

The Theatre Command urged members of the public to continue providing credible information to security agencies in support of ongoing efforts to restore lasting peace and security across the theatre.<\/p>\n
