Troops of Operation Hadin Kai rescued 47 captives, mostly women and children, from ISWAP terrorists in Kangarwa, Kukawa LGA, Borno State, on 20 June 2026, according to a statement by Acting Military Information Officer, Captain Mohammed Goni.
Goni said the rescue followed sustained ground and air offensives against ISWAP enclaves in the Lake Chad region, which forced the terrorists to abandon their positions and allowed the victims to escape prolonged captivity.
The rescued persons are receiving medical care at a secure location, with humanitarian agencies supporting their reintegration. The Theatre Command said it will sustain offensive operations to dismantle ISWAP networks and restore peace in the North East. Watch the video in the comment section.
