Troops of the Joint Task Force North-East under Operation Hadin Kai have neutralised 16 suspected terrorists during a successful ambush operation in Borno State.

The operation was carried out by troops of Sector 1 working together with members of the Civilian Joint Task Force, Hybrid Forces and local hunters.
According to sources, the ambush was laid at about 8:10 p.m. on Sunday at Komala Exchange Point. It followed a failed terrorist attempt to attack Auno and reliable intelligence on the movement of terrorist logistics elements in the area.
The troops, in collaboration with CJTF and other local partners, neutralised the 16 terrorists and recovered a large quantity of arms, ammunition and logistics supplies.
Items recovered from the scene included wrappers, pairs of shoes and slippers, bicycles, sachets of detergent, packs of sweets, assorted local fragrances, milk sachets, vaseline, washing soap, groundnuts, seasoning, fruit drinks, palm oil, groundnut oil, mats, spaghetti, thread, matches, cups and spoons, sieves, flour, salt, bicycle tyres and equipment, sugar, cosmetics, local herbs, a cooler and various other everyday items.
The recovered materials are believed to have been intended as logistics supplies to sustain terrorist groups operating in the region.
The operation demonstrates the continued focus of security forces under Operation Hadin Kai and related efforts such as Operation Desert Sanity V to disrupt terrorist supply chains and weaken their operational capacity across the North-East.
No casualties were reported among the troops or their civilian partners. Security operations remain active to safeguard communities and restore lasting peace in Borno and neighbouring areas.
