Troops of Operation HADIN KAI have recovered the body of a suspected Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorist and a fabricated ladder following an attempted infiltration attack on 162 Amphibious Battalion in Mandaraguirau, Borno State.
According to a Special Situation Report obtained by Zagazola Makama, the recovery was made on Aug. 17 during further exploitation of the area following the attempted terrorist attack.
The report said troops of 162 Amphibious Battalion conducted the exploitation at about 10 a.m. and discovered the body of one terrorist alongside a fabricated ladder believed to have been used in the attempted infiltration.
The development followed an earlier attempt by terrorists to infiltrate and attack the military formation on Aug. 15.
The military said troops remained on heightened alert and continued efforts to dominate the area and prevent further terrorist infiltration.
The general security situation across the theatre remained calm but unpredictable, while troops’ morale and fighting efficiency remained satisfactory.
