Tuesday, June 9, 2026 – Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have rescued six kidnap victims following a confrontation with terrorists along the Delwa–Komala road in Borno State.
The incident occurred at about 17:58 hours on June 6, 2026 when troops at
Forward Operating Base Molai received intelligence that armed terrorists had
intercepted and abducted civilians travelling along the route.
Troops were immediately mobilised on a fighting patrol to the location and
reportedly made contact with the terrorists upon arrival in the general area.
According to the sources, the armed group abandoned the victims and fled
into nearby bushes following the troops’ approach.
The victims were successfully rescued unharmed and comprised four adult
males, one adult female and one minor.
They were said to have been secured and moved to a safer location for
further assessment and necessary documentation.
The military noted that the general security situation in the theatre
remains calm but unpredictable, adding that troops continue to maintain
aggressive patrols and clearance operations across vulnerable areas.
It further stated that troops’ morale and operational effectiveness remain satisfactory as operations continue to deny terrorists freedom of action within the North-East theatre.
