…as Sustained Military Pressure Continues to Weaken Terrorist Elements
A Boko Haram terrorist has surrendered to troops of the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), in Pulka Gwoza LGA, Borno State, as sustained military operations continue to exert pressure on terrorist elements across the North East.
A statement signed Captain Mohammed Goni Acting military information officer HQ JTF north east operation hadin Kai Maiduguri said at about 09:20 AM on Wednesday 2 September 2026, the terrorist voluntarily surrendered to troops at Pulka. Preliminary information revealed that the terrorist had previously operated within the Mandara Mountains axis, an area associated with terrorist activities along the Nigeria-Cameroon border.At the time of his surrender, troops recovered one Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG) launcher, one RPG bomb and one mobile phone from him.
The surrendered terrorist is undergoing preliminary investigation and profiling in accordance with established procedures.The development further reflects the impact of sustained military pressure on terrorist networks and their diminishing freedom of action across the Theatre. It also underscores ongoing efforts by Operation HADIN KAI to degrade terrorist capabilities and encourage those still bearing arms to abandon terrorism and embrace peace.
The Theatre Command remains committed to sustaining pressure on terrorist elements, denying them freedom of action and creating the conditions necessary for lasting peace and stability across the North East region.
