Troops of Operation Hadin Kai yesterday clashed with fleeing terrorists in Borno state, resulting in the death of an unspecified number of fighters from both sides. The encounter occurred after a clearance operation conducted by the troops across terrorist locations, including Tergejeri, Chiralia, and the Ajigin/Abirma general areas.
The Media Information Officer, Joint Task Force Northeast operation Hadin Kai, Lt Col Sani Uba, who disclosed this in a statement today, said many terrorists were neutralized. According to him, during the conduct of the operations, troops made intermittent contact with fleeing terrorist elements and engaged them with high volumes of fire, resulting in the neutralisation of several terrorists.
