Notable successes in clearance, fighting patrols and blocking operations have been recorded by troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) in sustained intense offensive operations against Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists across Borno State.
The Media Information Officer, Operation HADIN KAI, Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, January 11.
He said that a sustained pressure along the Azir–Wajiroko axis on Saturday, January 10, under Operation DESERT SANITY V, forced 11 terrorists fighters to surrender along with their AK 47 rifles and assorted ammunition.
In addition, troops arrested two suspected terrorist logistics collaborators at Gubio Local Government Area for supplying terrorists logistics.
Thenewsbearer learnt that earlier, on 9 January 2026, troops conducted extensive clearance operations in the Bulaagalda cluster, destroying several active terrorist enclaves and camps at Dagumba, Bonne, Yaganari, Gosuri and Umchile, including the notorious Abu Nazir and Abu Ahmed camps.
“During the operation, troops dismantled life-support structures, degraded terrorist logistics and recovered items including terrorist flags and weapons as well as magazines.
“Similar offensive operations in the Yale and Bula Gaida areas forced terrorists to flee, leading to the destruction of additional logistics facilities and the recovery of weapons, ammunition and a general purpose machine-gun,” Lt. Col. Uba stated.
In a related operation based on credible intelligence, troops engaged JAS/ISWAP elements between Sojiri and Kayamla villages, resulting in the neutralisation of 8 terrorists and the recovery of AK-47 rifles.
The spokesman said that the troops remain resolute in sustaining offensive pressure, dismantling terrorist networks and restoring lasting peace and security across the North East region.
