Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have neutralised nine terrorists at Yanaga Ari in the Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State, while successfully rescuing 74 members of the National Youth Service Corps from Boko Haram/ISWAP abductors along the Buratai–Kamuya Road in the Biu Local Government Area.
The Media Information Officer of the Joint Task Force, North East Operation Hadin Kai, Lt. Col. Uba Sanni, disclosed the developments in a statement on Thursday.
He said several weapons and logistical items were recovered following the military operation on Tuesday.
The statement attributed the successes to a recent directive by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Waidi Shaibu, emphasising the need to sustain pressure on insurgent enclaves.
