Military personnel drawn from the 29 Task Force Brigade, operating in coordination with local hybrid forces, successfully neutralized six suspected members of the Islamic State West Africa Province during a targeted operation in Borno State.
The engagement occurred during the early hours of Sunday along the Targejeri axis within the Kaga Local Government Area, following actionable intelligence concerning insurgent movements in the region.
Security reports indicate that troops positioned themselves along the suspected transit route before confronting the armed fighters, successfully overpowering six members of the group during the exchange of fire.
During subsequent clearance operations at the site, security forces recovered various items including an AK-47 rifle, multiple ammunition magazines, and hundreds of rounds of special ammunition.
Additional recovered materials from the encounter site included several communication devices, mobile phones, and traditional charms often associated with insurgent groups operating within the region.
This security engagement forms part of broader ongoing military operations aimed at restricting insurgent mobility and dismantling logistics networks across the northeastern region.
