The kinetic confrontation unfolded at Zangula Kilba Junction in Gombi Local Government Area, where troops deployed on heavy interdiction duty intercepted and decisively overwhelmed an advancing Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) strike force, driving the remaining insurgents into retreat under heavy fire.
Operational dispatches released by the Nigerian Army confirmed that post-encounter sweeps yielded two AK-47 assault rifles, four magazines, 115 rounds of 7.62 mm live ammunition, three belts of ammunition links, and two cases of locally fabricated explosive materials alongside tactical field equipment.
The Acting Media Information Officer for Joint Task Force Operation Hadin Kai, Captain Mohammed Goni, confirmed the operational breakthroughs and ongoing clearance sweeps in an official statement from headquarters in Maiduguri.
Extending tactical pressure into Mubi South Local Government Area, troops partnered with local hunter syndicates to launch a high-speed search-and-rescue operation following the abduction of a female farmer, Mrs. Happiness Dama Dauda, compeling the kidnappers to abandon the victim under intense operational pursuit.
Continued pursuit across the Dutse-Uku corridor led to the rescue of two additional abducted locals, bringing the total number of freed civilians to three, while troops recovered abandoned logistics vehicles including a Hi-Jet pickup truck, a tricycle, and a motorcycle carrying harvested agricultural produce and restored them to local village authorities.
