Nigerian troops have successfully disrupted Boko Haram supply networks in the North-East, following coordinated security operations across Adamawa and Borno states.
The operations were carried out by the Joint Task Force under operation Hadin Kai, working closely with local vigilantes, hunters and community security groups. The military said the actions were carefully planned and effectively executed to weaken terrorist activities in the region.
In Adamawa State, troops arrested a 28-year-old man, Ismail Muhammed, who was described as a logistics supplier for Boko Haram.
He was apprehended in Hong Local Government Area while allegedly transporting items meant to support insurgents.
Security forces recovered ammunition, military gear and food supplies from him. He is currently in custody and is being thoroughly investigated.
During another operation in the same state, troops swiftly ambushed insurgents around the Visik River area and neutralised a suspected terrorist commander, Abdullahi Mafa. An assault rifle and a loaded magazine were recovered from the scene.
Acting on reliable intelligence, the military also arrested a 64-year-old suspect, Dauda Usman Gubula, who was accused of supplying drones to terrorists. According to the army, the drones were later modified and used aggressively against troops. Two drones, accessories and several solar power banks were recovered during his arrest at a motor park in Madagali.
Meanwhile, in Borno State, troops under Sector 2, working jointly with the Civilian Joint Task Force and local vigilantes, firmly repelled insurgent movements in Ngamdu.
A terrorist informant was neutralised while attempting to breach security positions, and logistics items were recovered.
The military command praised the troops for their courage and consistency, urging them to continue sustaining the fight against terrorism. Authorities said these operations are part of ongoing efforts to steadily cut off Boko Haram’s supply lines, restore peace and protect communities across the North East.
