Troops Repel Terrorist Attack in Borno State Successfully

On Friday morning, troops from the Joint Task Force North East, led by Lt. Col. Sani Uba, successfully repelled an attempted terrorist attack at Azir Bridge in Banki, Borno State. The attack occurred when a large number of terrorists advanced towards troop positions, attempting to overrun the location.

The troops met this assault with swift and overwhelming resistance, launching a coordinated counter-attack that disrupted the terrorists' efforts. The operation was significantly supported by air strikes, which played a crucial role in the success of repelling the attack.

The military also dismissed reports circulating on online platforms that falsely claimed the terrorists had taken control of the area, labeling such claims as misleading propaganda. The statement reassured the public that the troops remain firmly in control of the affected area and are committed to defeating the terrorist threat in the northeast and restoring peace to the region.
