MAIDUGURI — Troops of the Nigerian Army’s Operation HADIN KAI, in a coordinated operation with the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), have successfully intercepted a major logistical convoy suspected to be destined for Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in Borno State.
The operation, which took place on Saturday, was launched based on credible human intelligence indicating the movement of supplies from Dapchi in Yobe State towards the Magumeri area of Borno.
According to a military source, the troops tactically intercepted two pick-up vans loaded with a wide array of items. The recovered materials include:
· Two civilian vehicles
· 31 spare tyres and 23 spare rims
· Two bicycles and 12 ignition key starters
· Three alternators
· Food items including bags of flour, charcoal, yam tubers, and garri
· Miscellaneous items: a mattress, blankets, clothing, a power bank, six mobile phones, and an undisclosed sum of cash in various denominations.
The drivers of the vehicles are currently in military custody for further interrogation as investigations continue to unravel the logistics network.
This interception comes just 24 hours after troops repelled an attack by terrorists in Bitta village, Gwoza Local Government Area, demonstrating sustained military pressure on insurgent groups in the region.
Military authorities stated that the operation underscores the effectiveness of intelligence-driven missions and collaboration with local security partners in disrupting terrorist supply chains and denying them freedom of movement.
