Tuesday, March, 24 2026 - Troops of the Nigerian Army under Operation Hadin Kai have uncovered a suspected terrorist burial site, along with weapons and a medical facility, during a clearance operation in Abadam Local Government Area of Borno State.
This was disclosed in a post on X by counter-insurgency and
security expert in Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama.
Makama wrote that the discovery was made on March 21 by
soldiers of the 68 Battalion during an exploitation patrol in the Duguri area,
according to security sources.
The patrol, led by the unit’s Commanding Officer, was part
of ongoing efforts to track fleeing insurgents and restrict their movement
within the axis.
During the operation, troops reportedly recovered a
fabricated mortar tube and identified a burial ground believed to contain the
remains of about eight suspected members of the Islamic State West Africa
Province (ISWAP).
They also located an advanced aid post thought to have been
used for treating injured fighters.
Military sources said the findings point to heavy losses
suffered by the insurgents in recent confrontations with troops, forcing them
to retreat from their positions in the area.
Troops have since intensified patrols and clearance
operations across the axis to prevent the regrouping of insurgents and sustain
pressure on fleeing elements.
