Troops eliminate three suicide bombers in Borno
Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have killed three suicide bombers and their escorts along the Guduf–Pulka axis in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
The development was confirmed in a statement issued on Thursday by Sani Uba, the media information officer of the Joint Task Force North-East, Operation Hadin Kai.
According to him, the suicide bombers were intercepted and neutralised by troops during an operation in the area. He said the attackers were sent from the Mandara Mountains by the Ali Ngulde-led Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad faction of Boko Haram.
He reassured residents of the area that the military remains committed to sustaining pressure on insurgents and restoring lasting peace across the North-East.
“Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have successfully neutralised three terrorist suicide bombers following a deliberate, intelligence-driven operation conducted along the Guduf–Pulka axis in Gwoza LGA of Borno State,” the statement reads.
“The operation, executed through covert intelligence efforts by troops in collaboration with local volunteer forces, led to the tracking and neutralization of the suicide bombers before they could carry out planned attacks on innocent civilians.
“Troops also inflicted heavy casualties on the terrorist escorts accompanying the suicide bombers.”
The officer added that the surviving elements fled into the Mandara Mountains under pressure from sustained troop action.
“In the course of exploitation, troops recovered four AK-47 rifles abandoned by the fleeing terrorists, while two motorcycles used by the terrorists were destroyed,” the statement reads.
“Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have intensified efforts to detect, track, and neutralise suicide bombers and other terrorist elements operating from this enclave, leveraging human intelligence, communication intercepts, and other intelligence-gathering capabilities.”
