438 Boko Haram, ISWAP terrorists killed by Nigerian military

The Joint Task Force North East, Operation Hadin Kai, OPHK, has, in seven months of operations, killed 438 Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists.

The Theatre Commander, OPHK, North-east Sector 1, Maj.-Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar, who made this known on Saturday at the Christmas Luncheon in Maiduguri, said the operations were conducted between May and December.

Abubakar said the operatives had also recovered 254 assorted weapons, 300 units of Starlink communication devices and rescued 366 civilians from various terrorist enclaves.

“The surrender of 881 JAS/ISWAP fighters and their families, among other accomplishments, further underscores the progress made,” he said.

The army general said the Christmas celebration coincided with their dry season operations in the theatre.

Abubakar also attributed the successes recorded in the Joint Operations Area to the Chief of Army Staff’s interventions.
