Three Boko Haram terrorists were killed in Borno Yesu, close to Magumeri Local Government Area of Borno State, as a result of a clearance operation under Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK).
A combined force made up of Sector Two troops, the Nigerian Air Force component, a Special Forces tactical team, and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force carried out the operation in Bulabulin Forest.
Major General Abdulsallam Abubakar, the theater commander of OPHK, claims that after a bloody brawl, the terrorists were overthrown while several others fled with gunshot wounds.

“During an operation in Bulabulin Forest, our troops engaged Boko Haram fighters while being closely watched by the Air Component Command and supported by the Civilian Joint Task Force.” Three of them were killed by the troops, according to him, while others escaped with varying injuries.
Two brand-new motorcycles, four fully loaded magazines, 120 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, grenades, two bandoliers, and combat packs were recovered from the scene.
Abubakar noted that Sector Two, which includes parts of Borno and the Yobe States, has continued to conduct long-range patrols and sustained offensives around the Timbuktu Triangle, a known terrorist hideout.
The Timbuktu Triangle has been a target of Sector Two’s forest searches. Many communities there are now being freed, he added, and it is a hideout for terrorists.
