Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have intensified counter-insurgency operations across parts of Borno and Yobe states, killing suspected terrorists, arresting collaborators and logistics suppliers, while recording fresh surrenders linked to insurgent groups.

Details of the operations were contained in the Defence Headquarters’ report covering May 15 to 21, released on its X handle on Sunday. According to the military, troops deployed to Kirawa carried out clearance operations on May 15 through Valle general area, Ashigashiya and Gakara in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State, where two terrorists were killed during an exchange of fire.

The report added that on May 16, troops working alongside local hunters raided insurgent logistics networks at Kwayar Kusar Market in Kwayar Kusar LGA. During the operation, four suspected cattle rustlers and collaborators were arrested while allegedly attempting to sell six cows on behalf of insurgents.

The military said sustained offensives and pressure on terrorist enclaves have continued to trigger fresh surrenders by fighters and their relatives. It noted that on May 17, an adult male relative of a terrorist fled the Kwatara enclave in the Mandara Mountains and surrendered to troops along the Gwoza-Limankara road in Gwoza LGA, citing severe hardship and mounting military pressure.

Further surrenders were also recorded on May 19 in Dikwa LGA, where two adult women and seven minors reportedly turned themselves in to troops.
