Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have carried out a clearance operation targeting suspected insurgent enclaves in Kaga Local Government Area of Borno State.
The development was disclosed in a post on Monday by security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, via his X handle.
Security sources said the operation was conducted on April 19 at about 1000 hours by troops of the 29 Task Force Brigade in conjunction with members of the Civilian Joint Task Force, CJTF.
The troops, mounted on Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, Armoured Personnel Carriers, and gun trucks, advanced from Benisheikh through key routes including Qwayari, Karnakasari, the Camel Route, and the Mainok axis.
According to the sources, the operation was aimed at clearing suspected Boko Haram enclaves and denying insurgents freedom of movement within the corridor.
However, no contact was made with insurgents during the operation, which is ongoing.
Military authorities said the exercise is part of sustained clearance and domination operations across the North-East theatre.
They added that the overall security situation in the region remains calm but unpredictable, while troops’ morale and operational efficiency remain high.
The development comes amid recurring attacks by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in the North-East region.
