 TROOPS OF OPHK CONTAIN ISWAP ATTACK ON FOB GAJIRAM, NEUTRALISE TERRORISTS AND RECOVER WEAPONS


Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) have successfully contained an attack by Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists on Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Gajiram, Nganzai Local Government Area, Borno State.


At about 12:20 a.m. on 10 August 2026, a large number of terrorists launched an assault in an attempt to overrun the troops’ position. The gallant troops responded with determined and effective fire, forcing the attackers to withdraw after sustaining heavy casualties. During the engagement, troops neutralised several of the terrorists and recovered weapons, ammunitions and communication gadgets.  Post-engagement review of the surveillance footage further confirmed several casualties being evacuated by the retreating terrorists. The recovered items and footage are currently undergoing further operational assessment.


Meanwhile, few troops sustained injuries during the engagement as a part of the defences was temporarily breached leading to damage to some combat enablers and vehicles from Rocket Propelled Grenade fires. The injured personnel were promptly airlifted and are currently stable and receiving medical attention. Following the attack, troops have remained firmly deployed in and around the FOB and adjoining areas to dominate the general area, monitor the situation, and prevent any further attempts by the terrorists to re-engage.


Residents of Gajiram and surrounding communities are advised to remain calm and go about their lawful activities. Members of the public are also encouraged to promptly report any suspicious movement or activity to the nearest security agencies or call 07084988859 to support intelligence sharing in the ongoing operations.


Troops continue to maintain high vigilance in and around Gajiram while exploitation of the operational area and further assessment of terrorists' casualties and activities remain ongoing.


Headquarters Theatre Command Operation HADIN KAI reassures the public of its unshakable commitment to sustaining pressure on the ISWAP terrorists until lasting peace and stability are fully restored in the North East.
