Troops of Operation Hadin Kai, Sector 2, have destroyed terrorist life-support structures and arrested two suspected Boko Haram logistics suppliers during clearance operations around Sabon Gari Fishingo in Borno State.

Security sources told Zagazola that the troops, in conjunction with quasi-security forces, conducted the operation at about 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 28.

The troops reportedly made contact with terrorists at Kayawa and engaged them with superior firepower, forcing the insurgents to flee in disarray.

The fleeing terrorists abandoned two motorcycles and five bicycles at the scene. No casualty was recorded among the troops.

Following the encounter, the troops set ablaze structures believed to be used as life-support bases by the terrorists.

The operation later extended to Sabon Gari Fishingo, where troops conducted a cordon-and-search exercise.

During the operation, two suspected Boko Haram logistics suppliers identified as Dahiru Haruna and Salele Lawali were arrested.

Items recovered from the suspects included a large quantity of drugs, medical consumables and one tricycle, popularly known as “Jega.”

Sources said the suspects were in custody for further investigation, while the recovered items were being documented.

The operation is part of sustained offensive actions under Operation Desert Sanity aimed at dismantling terrorist enclaves and disrupting their logistics networks in the North-East.
