Troops of the Joint Task Force in North-East, Operation Hadin Kai, have recorded another significant operational success with the surrender of two more high-profile terrorist commanders to troops of Sector 2 in Geidam, Yobe State.
The latest development came barely a month after two senior ISWAP commanders, Ismail Mohammed, linked to the senior terrorist leader known as Baa Shuwa, and Abu Umar, a senior ISWAP explosives expert and Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) specialist, surrendered to troops on June 8.
Confirming the latest surrender, the acting Media Information Officer of Joint Task Force (North East) of Operation Hadin Kai, Captain Mohammed Goni, said the two surrendered commanders, identified as Munzirs within the terrorist leadership structure, arrived in Maiduguri at about 1930 hours on July 5, 2026, and are currently in military custody undergoing detailed profiling, debriefing, and intelligence exploitation.
