Troops from Operation Hadin Kai, in collaboration with the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), have neutralized 10 Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists along the Rann–Gamboru Ngala corridor near the Nigeria–Cameroon border
Major General Markus Kangye, Director of Defence Media Operations, confirmed the operation stemmed from actionable intelligence and aimed to eradicate militant hideouts within Lake Chad Basin border regions .
In intense firefights at Manawaji, troops employed superior firepower, and as a result neutralized all ten insurgents. A large cache of weapons was recovered, including anti‑aircraft rounds and ammunition suspected to have been looted during raids on Cameroonian forces
Major General Kangye explained that the operation forms part of a broader clearance strategy to dismantle Boko Haram’s remaining strongholds across Northeastern Nigeria—particularly the Lake Chad Axis
Recovered arms are currently under forensic examination, while continued search efforts are in place to track down fleeing terrorists and targeted hideouts
The military affirmed its commitment to sustained offensive operations in collaboration with regional partners, as part of Nigeria’s ongoing counter-insurgency campaign
