Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI have recorded fresh breakthroughs in the ongoing fight against terrorism, neutralising 14 insurgents and thwarting multiple attacks across Borno and Adamawa States between September 21 and 27, 2025.
In a series of coordinated offensives, soldiers eliminated 11 terrorists at Loskori Kura in Mafa Local Government Area on September 27, recovering four AK-47 rifles, assorted ammunition, and hard drugs. That same day, another insurgent was gunned down during a night raid in Konduga LGA.
Earlier, on September 22, troops neutralised a Boko Haram scout at Kolori Karumi, near Alau Dam in Konduga, while a patrol in Zar Village, Hong LGA of Adamawa State, recovered an AK-47 rifle on September 24. Soldiers at Forward Operating Base Magumeri also intercepted a rifle from suspected kidnappers.
On September 25, troops at Forward Operating Base Azir in Damboa repelled a large-scale attack, killing one insurgent and seizing three AK-47 rifles along with improvised explosive device (IED) materials.
As part of intensified efforts to block terrorist supply chains, the army intercepted large quantities of urea fertiliser used for making explosives at Mubi Central Market, Adamawa State, on September 27. The same day, soldiers seized 20 jerrycans of smuggled petrol along the Fillin Ball–Gella Road in Mubi South, after the smugglers fled.
The Military High Command commended the gallantry of the troops and reiterated its determination to sustain aggressive operations aimed at completely eradicating terrorism in the Northeast.
