A military source in Maiduguri told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday that the suspected terrorists were killed by troops from Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) during repelling multiple coordinated terrorist attacks in Borno and Yobe states.

“These commanders led the latest failed offensive from multiple fronts, deploying RPGs, anti-aircraft guns, and suicide bombers in a bid to overrun our locations.
But they were overwhelmed by combined ground and air counter-assaults.” The source identified the slain commanders as Ari Kolo (Munzir Abbagajiri), Ya Muhammad (from Dosula), Abu Aisha (from Abba Gajiri), Hamzalah (Qaid at Gambo Gege and Faruk villages), and Abu Rijal (from Dosula).
The source said that the suspected claim commanders were killed during simultaneous clashes in Dikwa, Mafa, Gajibo, and Katarko areas of Borno and Yobe.
