The Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), in collaboration with local security stakeholders, has foiled a terrorist infiltration attempt and disrupted terrorist logistics and support networks across the North East.

Lieutenant Colonel Haruna M. Sani, Acting Media Information Officer (North East), said in a statement on Friday night that troops responded swiftly to the sighting of terrorists advancing towards the North East Theatre Training School, Buni Yadi, at about 9:00 a.m. on 9 June 2026. The troops neutralized two terrorists and recovered a motorcycle.

Also, troops of the 25 Brigade Garrison, in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), apprehended two suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP logistics suppliers, Mallam Bako Ibrahim and Abu Aji, along the Sierra 4 axis in Damboa.

Similarly, troops of the 162 Amphibious Battalion, working closely with the CJTF along the Mandaragirau–Sabon Gari Road, arrested another suspected logistics supplier, Musa Idi. Investigations revealed that the suspects were involved in providing logistics support to terrorists operating within Damboa Local Government Area.

Items recovered from the suspects included 19 wristwatches, one large mat, one transistor radio, two cartons of agro-allied chemicals, and other materials intended for terrorist use. The suspects and the recovered items are currently in custody for further investigation and necessary action.

In a related development, combined troops of Sector 2, in collaboration with the CJTF, arrested a 23-year-old suspect, Adams Shittima, in Damboa town at about 5:58 a.m. on 9 June 2026. The suspect was intercepted while attempting to procure farm implements and mosquito nets for terrorist elements.

During preliminary interrogation, he confessed to providing both logistics support and information to terrorists operating within Damboa Local Government Area, further exposing the network of collaborators sustaining insurgent activities in the area.

The military high command commended the troops for their professionalism, vigilance, resilience, and unwavering commitment in the ongoing fight against terrorism and criminality.

The Ebonyi State Police Command has arrested a man identified as Nwali Nwibo for allegedly circulating false information claiming that bandits and suspected Fulani herdsmen had invaded Nguzu Edda Community in Edda Local Government Area of the state.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Joshua Ukandu, and made available to journalists in Abakaliki.
