Troops foil Boko Haram/ISWAP invasion into Borno base

Nigerian troops have successfully thwarted an attempted invasion of a military base by suspected Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in Borno State. The attack targeted a Forward Operation Base located in Logomani village, within the Ngala Local Government Area.

In addition to repelling the assault, the Joint Task Force North East, Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), also rescued several people who had been abducted by the terrorists. This dual success highlights the ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the restive region.

The operation underscores the persistent threat posed by extremist groups in northeastern Nigeria, as well as the military's continued efforts to secure communities and neutralize terrorist activities. The successful defense of the base and the rescue of abductees represent a significant achievement for the troops involved.
