Family members of suspected ISWAP fighters, along with 12 children, surrendered to Operation HADIN KAI troops in Mafa, Borno State. The women, identified as Falamatai Modu, Kelu Yaga, Fada Yaga, Gwaya Kadi, Hauwa Mallam, Maryam Yusuf, and Fanna Kadi, were accompanied by children aged from three months to 10 years. They reportedly fled the Yaganari terrorist enclave due to hunger and worries for their safety following violent clashes between rival insurgent groups.
Security expert Zagazola Makama disclosed that the women were intercepted by the 112 Task Force Battalion on August 17 at 5 p.m. Initial interrogations revealed their identities and circumstances. The troops documented the escapees and will turn them over to the 24 Task Force Brigade Military Intelligence Regiment for further proceedings.
The ongoing military operations and factional clashes in the North-East have significantly weakened terrorist enclaves, disrupting their networks. The overall security situation in the region remains calm but unpredictable, with satisfactory troop morale and fighting efficiency.
