TROOPS of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) deployed in Nigeria’s North Eastern have neutralized five Boko Haram terrorists.
The gallant troops also arrested one member of the sect in the Mafa-Nganzai axis of Borno State.
SPY News gathered that the insurgents were killed while moving in a convoy of gun trucks and motorcycles from the Northern part of the state to the Mafa axis.
A counter-insurgency expert in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, in Maiduguri, yesterday, said that the troops also captured one of the terrorist alive, while others fled with gunshot injuries.
He said the troops achieved the feat on November 24, 2022, while acting on credible intelligence that terrorists were moving towards the Mafa axis.
On how the terrorists were killed, Makama said:
“The soldiers laid an ambush for the terrorists and instantly, neutralized five of them.”
He added that the captured terrorist was handed over to the appropriate authorities for further investigation.
“While dominating the Mafa axis, the troops are aggressively patrolling along the Maiduguri-Dikwa-Gambouru Road.
“The troops are also trailing other fleeing terrorists to locate their hideouts for neutralization,” he said
