Troops from the Multinational Joint Task Force’s Operation Hadin Kai, Sector 3, successfully foiled an ISWAP terrorist attack in Borno, Nigeria, along the Magumeri-Maiduguri axis.
The troops carried out a tactical ambush, neutralizing the threat before the terrorists could harm innocent civilians.
Lieutenant Colonel Olaniyi Osaba revealed that the troops strategically positioned themselves along the terrorists’ route, engaging them as they emerged from a forested area on motorcycles.
The terrorists attempted to flee but were met with heavy gunfire, forcing them to abandon their weapons and motorcycles.
The troops recovered several items from the insurgents, including two AK-47 rifles, 51 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, two magazines, 61 rounds of 7.62 NATO ammunition, parcels of marijuana, Tramadol, and other items.
