Troops Foil Terrorists’ Attack In Adamawa

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai, in collaboration with other security elements, have successfully repelled an attack by suspected Boko Haram terrorists while approaching Garaha in Hong Local Overnment Area of Adamawa State.

An eyewitness said the incident occurred on December 24,.2025, at a border community connecting Askira/Uba Local government Area of the State.

According to the source, supported by members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), the troops swiftly responded to a distress call about the attempted incursion of the terrorists.

“The insurgents attempted to attack the village but were decisively engaged by the troops, who repelled them and forced them to retreat,” a security source disclosed.

He added that no casualties were recorded during the incident, as residents of the village had fled the area before the terrorists arrived.

The source added that the Nigerian troops have intensified patrols and surveillance in the general area and along border communities to prevent further attacks and to deny the terrorists freedom of movement.

Operation Hadin Kai has reiterated its commitment to sustaining offensive operations against Boko Haram and ISWAP elements to ensure the safety of lives and property in the North-East region.

Efforts to confirm the attack from the military or the police sources were not successful at the time of filing this report.
