Troops eliminate ISWAP commander and 40 terrorists in Borno
On October 10, 2026, troops conducted a military operation in Borno State, targeting an ISWAP enclave at Badu Village, south of Gudumbali in the Guzamala Local Government Area. According to Captain Mohammed Goni, the operation was based on actionable intelligence indicating a large concentration of ISWAP fighters planning coordinated attacks against military troops in Sector 3.
The air component executed targeted aerial surveillance, identifying fighters' hideouts and logistics facilities. A precision air strike was launched on the primary building occupied by the insurgents, resulting in the death of an ISWAP commander and 40 terrorists.
The operation also destroyed two operational vehicles and approximately 20 motorcycles, significantly degrading ISWAP's fighting capability. The Joint Task Force emphasized the effectiveness of intelligence-led operations and pledged to maintain pressure on remaining insurgent pockets to restore peace and stability in Borno State and the wider North East region.
