Security operations in Borno and Yobe states
Overview
Security forces in Nigeria have intensified efforts to secure the Yobe and Borno regions against terrorism and irregular migration.
Initially, the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) established a commitment to enhance collaboration in Yobe State. Officials emphasized that coordinated surveillance and information sharing are essential to disrupting terrorism, human trafficking, and smuggling. The goal is to create a security architecture that prevents criminal elements from exploiting border gaps.
Following these coordination efforts, troops from Operation Hadin Kai conducted active combat operations against the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). In Borno, military forces arrested numerous suspects and repelled attacks on Kukawa town. In Yobe, security forces arrested individuals allegedly supplying logistics to terrorists and conducted precision air strikes in the Sambisa and Cross Kauwa axes, resulting in terrorist fatalities and the destruction of mobility assets.
