Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have foiled a coordinated terrorists attack on their location in Izge, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno, neutralising several insurgents and capturing key combat equipment.

The attack, which occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, was repelled after a fierce exchange of gunfire that lasted for hours, according to a statement issued by Capt. Reuben Kovangiya, Acting Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Headquarters Theatre Command Operation Hadin Kai.

“The courageous troops displayed a high level of determination, leading to the neutralisation of several terrorists, while others fled in disarray,” the statement read.

“Items recovered from the scene included a PKT automatic machine gun with ammunition belts, one motorcycle, and 10 bicycles believed to be used for logistics.
