Troops of the Joint Task Force, North East Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), supported by the Air Component, have eliminated nine Boko Haram terrorists, including two top commanders, in Borno State.

Military sources revealed that the operations, conducted between August 21 and 22, foiled planned terrorist attacks on Bita and Wulgo.

Those killed include commanders Abu Nazir, the Munzir of Juye, and Abu Fatima, the Munzir of Koloram, who were neutralised during a fierce gun battle in the Wulgo axis.
