Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have scored another victory against insurgents, neutralising a Boko Haram/ISWAP fighter and recovering an AK-47 rifle during an ambush in Yobe State.
The operation, carried out on September 29 by soldiers of the 27 Task Force Brigade with the support of vigilantes and Hybrid Forces, took place around Mahdiya village along the Buni Yadi road.
Military sources said the ambush was part of sustained efforts to deny terrorists freedom of movement and to secure communities in the North East.
