Monday, April 27, 2026 -Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested a suspected spy and neutralised two terrorists in separate operations in Borno State, as part of ongoing counter-insurgency efforts in the North-East theatre.
The troops of 198 Special Forces Battalion apprehended a
suspected spy on 25 April 2026 at about 21:40 hours while conducting
surveillance operations along a parapet area within their operational
environment.
The suspect was reportedly observed through while conducting
reconnaissance on troop dispositions before attempting to conceal himself in
nearby shrubs.
The sources stated that troops on standing patrol swiftly
moved in and arrested the suspect, who could not provide any identification
details and declined to give information during preliminary questioning.
He is currently in custody for further interrogation to
determine his motive and possible links to hostile elements operating in the
area.
In a separate development within the same theatre, troops
also repelled an attempted infiltration by terrorists around Buratai District
in Biu Local Government Area.
The encounter, which occurred late on 25 April 2026,
resulted in the neutralisation of two terrorists, with troops recovering a
motorcycle and a cache of ammunition after the attackers were forced to
withdraw in disarray.
Military authorities noted that the general security
situation remains fluid but under close monitoring, while reaffirming that
troops’ morale and operational effectiveness remain high as counter-terrorism
operations continue across the region.
