Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), working in conjunction with Operation Desert Sanity V, have again disrupted major terrorist networks across the North-East, recording significant successes in ongoing counter-terrorism and counter-criminal operations.

According to a statement by the Media Information Officer of Operation Hadin Kai, Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, the achievements stemmed from sustained operational momentum across the theatre, resulting in the arrest of terrorists and their collaborators, the disruption of logistics supply chains, the recovery of arms and ammunition, and the consolidation of security gains in the region.

In a series of intelligence-led operations across Borno and Yobe States, troops recorded major breakthroughs against terrorist logistics networks. At Benisheikh Market, troops, alongside Forest Guards, arrested a suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP logistics supplier, Girema Aliko, 40, who had been on a watchlist. He was intercepted while transporting 30 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and later confessed to supplying fuel and other logistics to terrorist elements.
