Troops of the Joint Task Force Operation Hadin Kai have foiled a planned suicide attack after neutralising three terrorist bombers in Borno State.
A statement signed by the Media Information Officer of the Joint Task Force (North East), Lt. Col. Uba Sani, said the operation was executed through covert intelligence efforts by troops, in collaboration with local volunteer forces.
The mission led to the tracking and neutralisation of the suicide bombers before they could attack civilians.
“During the encounter, suicide vests and other improvised explosive device (IED) materials in the possession of the terrorists were recovered and safely secured.
“Troops also inflicted heavy casualties on the terrorist escorts accompanying the suicide bombers. The surviving elements fled into the Mandara Mountains under pressure from sustained troop action”, the statement added.
Four AK-47 rifles abandoned by the fleeing terrorists were recovered, and two motorcycles used by the terrorists were destroyed.
Preliminary intelligence assessments indicated that the neutralised suicide bombers were dispatched from the Mandara Mountains by the Ali Ngulde-led Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS) faction of Boko Haram.
