Troops Of OPHK Eliminate Top Boko Haram Commanders, Neutralise Dozens In Multiple Operations
|
[EONSINTELLIGENCE] Troops of the Joint Task Force, North East Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), in collaboration with the Air Component, have recorded major operational successes against Boko Haram, the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP), and Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad (JAS) terrorists in Borno and Yobe States.
Between 21 and 22 August 2025, troops successfully foiled coordinated terrorist attacks on Bita and Wulgo in Borno State, neutralising 11 insurgents, including two top commanders identified as Abu Nazir (Munzir of Juye) and Abu Fatima (Munzir of Koloram). Recovered items included AK-47 rifles, a cache of ammunition, and six motorcycles.
In a related development on 22 August 2025, troops of the 21 Special Armoured Brigade, supported by precision strikes from the Air Component, repelled a night attack on the Forward Operating Base at Kumshe. The air bombardments inflicted heavy casualties, with over 20 bodies, including dismembered parts, discovered in shallow graves during subsequent exploitation operations. Assorted weapons were also recovered.
Similarly, troops of Sector 1 conducting offensive operations at Dipchari near Banki Junction, Bama LGA, engaged terrorists in an intense gun battle, neutralising several fighters. Seized weapons included Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) tubes, AK-47 rifles, loaded magazines, 7.62mm special ammunition, and motorcycles.
On 23 August 2025, troops of Sector 2, working alongside the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), carried out a long-range tactical operation around Ndoksa, near Buni Gari in Yobe State. The raid led to further terrorist casualties and the recovery of additional AK-47 rifles and motorcycles.
The coordinated offensives have significantly degraded the terrorists' capabilities, denying them freedom of action, weakening their firepower, and disrupting logistics across the region.
The Military High Command commended the gallantry and resilience of the troops and urged them to sustain the momentum in the ongoing fight against insurgency, despite evolving security challenges.
