Captain Mohammed Goni, Acting Military Information Officer of Headquarters Joint Task Force North-East, Operation Hadin Kai, disclosed on Thursday morning that troops have neutralised 44 suspected Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists in several offensive operations across Borno State. The operations, conducted between October 26 and October 28, 2026, included engagements in Kukawa Local Government Area, offensive actions by the Maritime Component in the Lake Chad area, and an air interdiction mission that disrupted an improvised explosive device-laying operation.
On October 26, 28 terrorists were neutralised in Kukawa, with six injured, while on October 28, eight terrorists were neutralised and 10 injured in the Lake Chad area. The air mission neutralised eight operatives and destroyed their vehicle, motorcycles and IED materials. Goni stated that the operations reflect sustained pressure on terrorist networks through intelligence-led joint efforts, and the Theatre Command urged the public to provide credible information to support security operations.
