 PRESS RELEASE TERRORISTS RESORT TO PROPAGANDA AS OPERATION HADIN KAI SUSTAINS DECISIVE ONSLAUGHT The attention of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) has been drawn to a renewed propaganda campaign by remnants of Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), who are currently circulating old photographs and recycled media reports in a desperate attempt to mislead the public into believing they retain the capability to unleash mayhem on troops and law-abiding citizens.
