Troops Rescue 86 K+dnap Victims, D%stroy Boko Haram Camp in Borno
Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have rescued 86 k+dnapped victims and d+stroyed a major Boko Haram/ISWAP camp in the Buratai–Kamuya area of Borno State.
The operation was carried out on Sunday by the 135 Special Forces Battalion following surveillance alerts of t+rr@rists abd¥cting civilians along the route.
According to a statement by Lt. Col. Sani Uba, Media Information Officer for the Joint Task Force, the troops at Echo 1 in Dutse Kura came under heavy attack around 3:52 pm.
A Quick Response Force was deployed to reinforce them, successfully repelling the t+rr@rists and pursuing them toward the Mangari axis.
During the pursuit, the insurgents attempted to flee with k+dnapped civilians in two vehicles, but troops amb¥shed them, forcing the t+rr@rists to abandon the victims.
A subsequent search led to the discovery of a Boko Haram/ISWAP camp, where 86 c@ptives — men, women and children — were rescued unharmed.
Recovered items included an AK-47 rifle, five magazines loaded with 73 rounds, PKT ammunition belts, five civilian cars, five motorcycles, eight bicycles and two tricycles. The camp was d%stroyed.
In a separate operation the same day, troops at Delta 1 in Mangada arrested 29 suspected Boko Haram logistics suppliers. Eight of them were identified as active couriers.
Seized items included two pickup vans and a tricycle loaded with Premium Motor Spirit, 38 jerry cans of fuel, engine oil, medical supplies, food items and two new g¥n-truck tyres.
The suspects and recovered items have been handed over for further investigation. Military sources say the latest operations are part of intensified efforts to cut off t+rr@rists supply chains and limit their movement in the North-East.
