Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have repelled an attack by fighters of the Islamic State of West Africa Province, ISWAP, in Wulgo, Borno State, killing at least seven insurgents, including two of their commanders.
Security sources confirmed that the slain commanders were identified as Abu Nazir, the Munzir of Juye, and Abu Fatima, the Munzir of Koloram. Several other terrorists reportedly sustained injuries during the exchange of fire.
The development was disclosed in a post on Thursday by security analyst, Zagazola Makama via X.
He also revealed that the troops recovered four motorcycles from the attackers, though an armoured vehicle, MRAP, belonging to the military was set ablaze by the fleeing insurgents.
“The terrorists came heavily armed but were decisively engaged. We inflicted heavy casualties on them, including two of their senior commanders,” a security source said.
