The Joint Task Force (Northeast), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), has continued to record significant operational successes in the ongoing counter-terrorism campaign against Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists, through sustained operations backed by credible, timely, and actionable intelligence.
In another breakthrough, a fresh group of top ISWAP terrorist leaders have abandoned their enclaves and surrendered to troops within the North-East theatre of operations.
Among those who surrendered are key members of the terrorist network, who gave themselves up due to relentless military pressure.
They are currently in a secure location undergoing profiling, debriefing, and other established procedures in accordance with extant operational protocols.
The development highlights the devastating impact of the sustained offensive by Operation HADIN KAI, which continues to dismantle terrorist strongholds, disrupt command and logistics structures, and deny the insurgents freedom of action across the theatre. Persistent military operations have continued to degrade the terrorists’ combat capabilities while eroding confidence within their ranks and leadership. Within the last week alone, a total of 76 terrorist foot soldiers, along with some of their families, surrendered to troops.
These operational gains demonstrate the effectiveness of the Nigerian military’s comprehensive counterterrorism and counter-insurgency strategy, combining precision combat operations, intelligence-led engagements, and coordinated joint efforts with partners.
Operation HADIN KAI remains resolute in its mission to completely defeat terrorism and restore lasting peace and security across the North-East.
The pressure on the remaining terrorist elements will continue unabated until they are completely neutralised or forced to surrender.
