Troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) in the North East and the Civilian JTF have killed eight suspected Boko Haram terrorists in Mafa Council, Borno State. The ground troops also arrested a suspect on December 26, 2022 as well as recovered four motorcycles and AK-47 rifle.

A counter-insurgency expert in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, disclosed, on Monday, in Maiduguri that neutralisation of the terrorists came after the Chief of Army Staff , Lt-Gen. Faruk Yahaya, charged the troops to redouble their efforts in smoking them out from Sambisa Forest and Lake Chad region.

SIMILARLY, a subgroup of the Kwayam tribe in the state, who were known for spiritual warfare, also killed two Boko Haram suspects. He said the terrorists were killed in a separate ambush with bow and arrows. MEANWHILE, the traditional institution in the state has been enjoined to support the advocacy to reduce the circulation of illegal small arms and light weapons in the North East.

Muhammed said the centre embarked on national assignment to eradicate illegal acquisition of firearms, which contributed immensely to the security challenges in the country.
