Troops of Operation Hadin Kai, in a coordinated effort with the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), have neutralized 10 Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists during a fierce gun battle along the Rann–Gamboru Ngala axis, close to the Nigeria–Cameroon border.

The successful counter-terrorism operation was disclosed on Monday night by the Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Markus Kangye.
