Just In: Troops repel terrorist attacks in Ajiri, Mafa

 

Troops  of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) deployed in Mafa have successfully repelled  attacks by ISWAP terrorists  in Ajiri, in Mafa LGA of Borno State.

The YATAB Network gathered that the failed  attack was coordinated by one Abou  Muhammed in response to the killing of 41 fighters and a top-ranking ISWAP Commander after OPHK troops stormed their enclaves in Mukdolo and Bone villages on March 26.

The terrorists reportedly  stormed the town at night on Wednesday March 29,  2023 and  attempted an attack on the military base which resulted in a heavy gun battle with the troops.

Troops however overwhelmed the terrorists with superior firepower, successfully repelling the attack while equally inflicting serious fatalities on the overpowered fighters.

Consequently, the terrorists staged another  ambush on a  reinforcement team deployed from Mafa. Again, the troops repelled the ambush forcing the terrorists to flee.

One member of Civilian JTF was injured in the encounter.
