Monday, April 22, 2024 - Troops of Operation Lake Sanity III, under
Operation Hadin Kai, have reportedly discovery an Islamic State West Africa
Province (ISWAP) terrorist bread production factory hidden within their den in
Maisani, Timbuktu Triangle, Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State.
According to intelligence sources quoted by security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, on Monday, the Combined troops of 199 Special Forces Battalion, in conjunction with Hybrid Forces and Civilian JTF (Joint Task Force), stumbled upon the bread factory during an exploitation mission into the terrorists’ hideout on Sunda
“The
sources said that the factory was destroyed while items recovered include 2
Lister generating plants, 1 baking machine, and several baking materials,”
Makama reported.
According to the report, the discovery came amidst a
week-long clearance operation aimed at decimating the terrorists from their
stronghold in the Timbuktu Triangle, an area comprising Buk 1, 2, and 3,
Talala, Ajigin, Dusula, Abulam, and Gorgi – a region notorious for harbouring
these extremist groups.
“These groups of terrorists are mostly responsible for attacks, ambushes, and IED/mine incidents targeting the Damboa roads, Damaturu-Maiduguri MSR (Main Supply Route), attacks towards Askira, Buratai, Buni Yadi, as well as the destruction of the high-tension transmission line connecting Borno and Yobe State.
“Despite the complexity of the terrain, characterised by
highly fortified camp mostly located under thick foliage and IEDs planted in
several locations within the Timbuktu Triangle, the troops continued to
maintain high fighting efficiency,” Makama stated.
