By: Zagazola Makama
The Maritime Component of Operation Hadin Kai, in the early hours of Wednesday responded to an attempted infiltration by suspected Boko Haram terrorists on the Naval Base Lake Chad, located at Fish Dam, Baga, in Kukawa Local Government Area.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the terrorists, who reportedly stormed the facility around 0100 hours, attempted to sabotage newly acquired Swamp Boggeys recently procured by the Borno State Government to aid waterways clearance in the Lake Chad region.
Sources said that the attack triggered a heavy gunbattle with the naval personnel, with reinforcement arriving from nearby Baga. The exchange of gunfire lasted for over two hours before the terrorists retreat.
“Although the base resisted the incursion, minimal damage was recorded. An ambulance and two other vehicles were destroyed, while some personnel sustained injuries during the engagement,” the source disclosed.
The Swamp Boggeys, however, remained intact and were not accessed by the attackers.
As of the time of filing this report, the Air Component Command (ACC) is said to be conducting follow-on pursuit and exploitation operations along the Lake Chad waterways to track down and neutralize the fleeing terrorists.
More details of the attack is still being obtained.

Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA (OPFY) have neutralised three notorious terrorist kingpins during a successful ambush operation in Sabon Birni Local Government Area (LGA) of Sokoto State.
Zagazola Makama report that the operation was conducted on July 25 between Mallamawa and Mazau villages in the Tsamaye/Mai Lalle District of the LGA.
During the operation, the troops neutralised the terrorists identified as Kachalla Nagomma, Gurmu and Ali Yar Daribiyar, and recovered three AK-47 rifles with magazines and a motorcycle.
Sources told Zagazola that the terrorists and their foot soldiers were in the area to collect ransom and illegal levies imposed on residents when they were ambushed by the troops.
The source said the operation has triggered widespread relief and jubilation among residents of Mai Lalle, Tsamaye, Rimaye and nearby communities across Sabon Birni and Goronyo LGAs.
“These terrorists have long tormented the communities with killings, kidnappings and extortion, so this success is a huge morale boost for the people,” the source added.
The troops have continued to intensify kinetic and non-kinetic efforts in synergy with other security agencies and local vigilante groups.
The military has urged members of the public to continue providing credible and timely information to assist the troops in sustaining momentum against criminal elements.
