Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have repelled an attack by suspected Boko Haram fighters on a border community in Adamawa State.
This was contained in a post shared on X on Saturday by security analyst, Zagazola Makama.
According to Makama, the incident happened on Friday night in Mayo Ladde village, located in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa.
Makama said the terrorists attempted to enter the community at about 9:00 p.m. but were met with strong resistance from security forces.
“Troops of Operation Hadin Kai, working with other security personnel and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), reportedly responded quickly after receiving a distress call from the area.
“The terrorists attempted to attack the village but were decisively engaged by the troops and forced to retreat,”Makama wrote.
Makama added that no casualties were recorded during the attack, as residents had fled the village before the arrival of the insurgents.
Following the incident, troops have increased patrols and surveillance around Mayo Ladde and other nearby border communities to prevent further attacks and restrict the movement of the terrorists.
Mayo Ladde village lies along a border route linking Askira/Uba Local Government Area and the Sambisa Forest axis in Borno State.
