The Joint Military Taskforce in the North-East, known as “Operation Hadinkai,” has recently conducted operations that resulted in the capture of 60 terrorists and more than 120 suspected terrorists.
The Joint Military Taskforce also freed three additional Chibok girls who were abducted by Boko Haram in 2024 from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State.
This was revealed on Friday during a press briefing at the theatre commander’s headquarters in Maiduguri, Major General Christopher Musa.
According to the theatre Commander, “What we intend to do as part of our kinetic and non-kinetic efforts is to deny them the ability to get logistics which keeps them going. In carrying out effective strangulation of the terrorists, troops have intensified efforts at intercepting their logisticians and supply in order to deny them vital logistics.”
He explained that a typical example is the arrest of Haruna Fulani and Umaru on the 13th of July 2022 who were suspected logistics suppliers to the terrorists’ Commander, Aliyu Ngolde, at Mandara mountains Gwoza general area.
He said items recovered from them include 13 bundles of women’s wrappers, 20 yards of black cotton, women’s underwear and 25 pairs of rubber shoes among others.
According to him, the troops rescued three Chibok girls between June 27 and July 25, stressing that those rescued include Ruth Bitrus, Karuna Luka with a child and Hannatu Musa with two children.
Recall that in April 2014 Boko Haram kidnapped 276 female students, aged between 16 and 18, from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State.
