Operation Hadin Kai: Troops tighten grip on terrorist logistics in Northeast 

July 25, 2025

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI, in collaboration with the Air Component, CJTF, and local hunters, intensified offensive and logistics strangulation operations across the North East from 15 to 22 July 2025, achieving notable successes.

During the operations, several terrorist supply routes were disrupted in Adamawa and Borno States, leading to the arrest of seven suspected logistics suppliers and the seizure of motorcycles, food items, fuel, and communication devices.

Troops also carried out successful raids and ambushes in Gwoza, Kaga, Bama, Monguno, and Konduga LGAs, neutralizing terrorists and foiling planned attacks.

Notable arrests included a suspect with unauthorised Starlink equipment and another with large quantities of hard drugs.

Arms, IED materials, and communication gear were also recovered. Additionally, ten family members of terrorists surrendered in Bama LGA, while a major interception on 22 July led to the seizure of high-tech equipment and supplies en route to Gamboru.

The Chief of Army Staff praised the troops’ bravery and reaffirmed the Nigerian Army’s commitment to defeating terrorism and restoring peace across the region.
