Troops of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) have foiled an attempted mass abduction by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists and rescued 31 civilians during a swift military operation along the Buratai–Kamuya Road in Biu Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno State.
Acting Media Information Officer of OPHK, Capt. Mohammed Goni disclosed this in a statement yesterday, saying the operation underscored the military’s growing reliance on real-time intelligence and rapid-response capabilities to counter insurgent attacks.
Goni said troops of the 135 Special Forces Battalion at Dutsen Kura detected the terrorists at about 3:45 p. m. Acting on the intelligence, the battalion immediately deployed a Quick Response Force, which pursued the terrorists towards the Mangari-Dora general area.
