Gallant troops of Operation Hadin Kai on duty
Nigerian army troops of Operation Hadin Kai, supported by Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and Hybrid Forces, have killed a Boko Haram scout during an ambush at Kolori Karumi near Alau Dam in Borno State.
The operation, carried out on Sept. 22, was part of ongoing Operation Desert Sanity IV under the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation Hadin Kai.
Military authorities said the successful ambush prevented terrorists from conducting surveillance and planning attacks around the area.
The troops were commended for their vigilance and resilience.
In another development, troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested a suspected Boko Haram fuel supplier in Borno State.
Sources said the suspect, identified as Thomas James, 54, was arrested on Sept. 23 at Forward Operating Base Ngwom.
He was caught with 23 bottles of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) concealed in a bag while travelling along the Maiduguri–Gamboru Ngala road.
Investigations confirmed his link to Boko Haram’s fuel supply chain. (Pieced together from reports by Zagazola)
