By: Zagazola Makama
The troops of the Joint Task Force (NE) Operation Hadin Kai, troops of the 192 Battalion have nutrialsied 2 Boko Haram terrorists in Gwoza LGA of Borno State.
Zagazola Makama reliably gathered that the troops, in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), carried out a siege operation along the Ngoshe-Ashigashya road in Gwoza Local Government Area.
The operation, which took place on September 1, 2024, resulted in troops coming into contact with terrorist elements towards the Mandara Mountain. The troops engaged the terrorists with superior firepower, neutralizing two and causing others to flee in disarray with possible gunshot wounds.
Following the operation, troops recovered four empty sacks and one mosquito net from the general area. There were no reported casualties on the side of the troops, while two terrorists were confirmed neutralized.

Military debunks rumor of abduction of 150 persons in Sokoto
By: Our Reporter
The Nigerian military has reacted to the rumor making the round that terrorists have abducted over one hundred and fifty residents of Gobir village in Sokoto state after the reported killing of an emir earlier abducted in the state.
In a statement, Major General Edward Buba, Director of Defense Media Operations, clarified that a trending video showing mass killings and burials actually depicts events from a nearby African country, not Nigeria.
Also speaking on the incident in Zamfsra state, where bandits reportedly burned down military vehicles after it was said to have abandoned detailed that on August 29, 2024, at around 5 p.m., troops from OPERATION HADARIN DAJI stationed at FOB Zurmi in Zamfara State conducted a patrol to target terrorists in Kwashabawa Village.
During the operation, two MRAPs became immobilized in swampy terrain due to heavy rains.
The troops dismounted and deactivated the vehicles to prevent their capture by terrorists.
Although General Buba did not give further details, he urged the general public to be cautious of terrorist attempts to spread misinformation and fake news as part of their propaganda efforts.

OPERATIONAL THEATRE VISIT: PARTICIPANTS OF ARMY WAR COLLEGE NIGERIA ENGAGE WITH FRONTLINE COMMANDERS, VISIT OPERATION HADIN KAI
OPERATIONAL THEATRE VISIT: PARTICIPANTS OF ARMY WAR COLLEGE NIGERIA ENGAGE WITH FRONTLINE COMMANDERS, VISIT OPERATION HADIN KAI
By: Our Reporter
In a crucial step towards enhancing operational readiness, participants of the Army War College Nigeria (AWCN) Course 8/2024 embarked on a strategic visit to the Headquarters Theatre Command Operation Hadin Kai in Maiduguri. The visit, scheduled from August 28 to September 1, 2024, is an integral part of the Operational Art and Campaigning Module of the course, providing the participants with firsthand exposure to the contemporary security challenges being addressed by the Nigerian Army.
Major General Kenneth Chigbu, the Deputy Theatre Commander, welcomed the AWCN delegation on behalf of the Theatre Commander, Major General Waidi Shaibu. In his address, Major General Chigbu lauded the Army War College Nigeria for its pivotal role in shaping the future leaders of the Nigerian military. He highlighted the professional excellence demonstrated by officers who were earlier posted to the theatre from the College, and acknowledged the significant impact of strategic papers developed by the institution.
“The theatre has achieved tremendous successes, including the surrender of numerous Boko Haram fighters, thanks to both kinetic and non-kinetic operations,” General Chigbu added. He emphasized the ongoing importance of collaboration between the College and the theatre in enhancing military effectiveness.
In response, Major General Ishaya Maina, the Commandant AWCN, expressed gratitude for the warm reception and urged participants to maximize the learning opportunity by identifying operational gaps that could further drive the mission’s success. “The insights gained here will be invaluable and will justify the sacrifices you’ve made,” General Maina emphasized.
The visit featured detailed briefings on intelligence, operations, and sector-specific strategies, offering the participants a comprehensive overview of the theatre’s operations. The visit concluded with the presentation of souvenirs to the Theatre Commander, the Acting General Officer Commanding 7 Division Nigerian Army, and Sector 1 Operation HADIN KAI as well as Acting Commanders of Sectors 2, and 3. This was followed by a group photograph to commemorate the occasion.
