Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have successfully neutralized several IED threats and repelled terrorist insurgents across Borno State.
Security expert Zagazola Makama disclosed the details of these successful counter-terrorism operations in a recent social media post.
On April 15, 2026, troops from the 24 Task Force Brigade discovered an explosive device at Bale Junction in Dikwa.
The military team performed a controlled detonation of the device, ensuring the main supply route remained safe for travel.
In a separate incident that same morning, an explosive disposal team found another IED along the Ngoshe–Pulka road.
Specialists safely disposed of the weapon on-site before it could cause any harm to the local Gwoza community.
Shortly after, patrolling troops spotted a group of suspected terrorists descending from the Mandara Mountains toward the area.
The soldiers immediately engaged the insurgents, forcing the group to abandon their mission and flee into the hills.
This military intervention successfully prevented a potential ambush and secured the safety of nearby residents and commuters.
Ongoing operations are currently focused on tracking the retreating terrorists and maintaining a strong presence in the region.
The military remains committed to sustaining pressure on insurgents to ensure long-term stability throughout the Lake Chad basin.
