Troops of the 120 Task Force Battalion, in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force, CJTF, have neutralised two suspected terrorists during a night ambush operation in Borno State.
Security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, disclosed the development in a post shared via his X handle.
Sources told Makama that the operation was carried out at about 11:00 p.m. on April 26 in the Dadingel and Ngirbuwa general area.
According to the sources, the ambush team made contact with suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters, leading to a gun battle.
“During the encounter, two terrorists were neutralised, while troops recovered two AK-47 rifles, five AK-47 magazines, bandoliers, grenades, and other accessories,” the sources said.
The recovered weapons and items were secured by the troops for further action.
The sources further noted that while the general security situation in the theatre remains calm but unpredictable, troop morale and operational effectiveness remain satisfactory.
