Troops of the 27 Task Force Brigade Garrison, in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and local hunters, have neutralised two suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists in an ambush operation in Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State.
The operation was carried out under Operation HADIN KAI as part of ongoing counterterrorism efforts in the North-East.
According to a Special Situation Report from Headquarters Sector 2, Operation HADIN KAI, the ambush followed credible intelligence on the movement of suspected terrorists around Kasaicia village along the Damaturu–Buni Yadi road.
Military sources said the troops laid an ambush at about 4:00 p.m. on May 27 and successfully engaged the terrorists as they attempted to move through the area.
Two insurgents were killed in the encounter, while weapons and ammunition were recovered from the scene, including two AK-47 rifles and empty magazines.
Security officials confirmed that the situation in the area remains under control, with troops maintaining heightened surveillance and operational readiness.
Authorities say the continued operations are part of efforts to deny terrorist groups freedom of movement and disrupt their activities across Yobe and neighbouring states.
