Troops of the Joint Task Force North-East, Operation Hadin Kai, have arrested suspected Boko Haram collaborators and recovered drones and ammunition during operations in Adamawa and Borno states.
In a statement issued in Maiduguri on Thursday, the Media Information Officer of the Theatre Command, Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, said troops of Sector 4 under the 28 Task Force Brigade arrested a 28-year-old suspect, Ismail Muhammed, in the Visik General area of Hong Local Government Area, Adamawa State. Items recovered included an AK-47 magazine, 7.62 millimetre ammunition, military accoutrements and food supplies.
In a separate operation in Madagali Local Government Area, troops ambushed the Visik River line and killed a suspected terrorist commander identified as Abdullahi Mafa, recovering an AK-47 rifle and a loaded magazine. Troops also arrested a 64-year-old suspect, Dauda Gubula, at Madagali Motor Park, recovering two aerial drones, accessories and 20 solar power banks.
