Troops of the Nigerian Army have successfully repelled multiple attacks by the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Borno State, military sources have confirmed. The operations reportedly resulted in the neutralization of several terrorists and the recovery of a large cache of weapons and military equipment.
According to the army, the attackers launched coordinated assaults on various communities in Borno, aiming to destabilize local security. However, the prompt response of Nigerian troops thwarted the insurgents’ plans, preventing potential casualties among civilians.
In the aftermath of the clashes, the army recovered an assortment of arms, ammunition, and equipment from the defeated terrorists, reinforcing efforts to combat insurgency in the region.
The Nigerian Army continues to conduct targeted operations across Borno and other northeastern states to degrade the capabilities of ISWAP and other armed groups, emphasizing its commitment to safeguarding citizens and restoring peace in conflict-affected areas.
Officials have called on residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to security forces, while assuring that operations will continue until all threats are neutralized.
