Two brothers, suspected of involvement in terrorist activities, have surrendered themselves to military forces of the 25 Brigade during Operation Hadin Kai in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State. The brothers, Mustapha Tijani, 27, and Malayi Tijani, 18, handed themselves over at approximately 3:30 pm on September 2, 2026.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama revealed that the surrender was prompted by recent cordon-and-search operations conducted at an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Damboa town. Makama added that the 25 Brigade's commander had also urged residents to dissuade family members involved in terrorism from engaging in such activities and to surrender to the authorities.
Initial investigation confirmed that Mustapha and Malayi were indeed biological brothers. Their older brother, Mallam Modu Tijani, had reportedly renounced terrorism and was residing at the Unity IDP Camp in Damboa. The brothers are currently in military custody for further investigation and suitable action.
