The Troops of Sector 2, 135 Special Forces Battalion, under Operation Hadin Kai, have dismantled JAS/ISWAP terrorists’ road block mounted along the Buratai–Kamuya Road in the Biu Local Government Area of Borno State, rescuing 53 civilians and recovering eight vehicles.
The operation took place on Wednesday when the troops deployed at Dutse Kura sighted terrorists blocking the highway through surveillance cameras, and A Quick Reaction Force (QRF) team immediately mobilised to the scene and pursued the insurgents toward the Mangari–Dora general area, made contact and engaged the terrorists in a firefight, forcing them to withdraw in confusion.
