bidexiii:[/b]PRESS RELEASE NAF SUSTAINED AIR STRIKES TRIGGER TERRORIST APPREHENSION IN BORNO STATE[b] The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), through the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI, has sustained its aggressive counter-terrorism air campaign in Borno State, delivering decisive strikes against terrorist strongholds and logistics enclaves within the Sambisa Forest axis. Following credible Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance reports, NAF air assets on 26 May 2026 executed precision strikes on identified terrorist hideouts and support structures at Biramiri in the Gezuwa general area of Borno State. The coordinated attacks destroyed key terrorist facilities and neutralised several fighters, further crippling the operational capacity of the insurgents. The intensity and precision of the ongoing air offensives have continued to generate fear and confusion among terrorist elements across the Sambisa axis. Intelligence assessments indicate growing apprehension and disorientation within the ranks of the terrorists as sustained bombardments deny them freedom of movement and safe havens. The NAF, in concert with troops of Operation HADIN KAI and other security agencies, remains resolute in maintaining relentless pressure on terrorist networks while reinforcing its commitment to protecting innocent lives and restoring lasting peace and security across the North-East.

gomol:  You didnt read the post itself; Anyways Mr president is just flexing his muscles and for me I dont think we need sending soldiers abroad when we are facing security challenges way back at home. To answer your question in a nut-shell; According to statements from the N.A and government officials, the deployment was meant to: help prevent violence or instability during Benin’s election period, support constitutional democracy, deter coup attempts or unrest, and strengthen regional security cooperation under ECOWAS. |

[/b]TROOPS OF OPERATION HADIN KAI RESCUE 92 KIDNAPPED CIVILIANS, FOIL IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICE, AMBUSH , IN SWIFT BURATAI RESCUE OPERATION[b] Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) have demonstrated their unrelenting commitment to the protection of civilians, executing a swift and decisive rescue operation that freed 92 kidnapped victims from BH/ISWAP terrorists along the Buratai–Kamuya road, Biu Local Government Area, Borno State, on Saturday 23 May 2026. At approximately 1122 hours, alert troops of the 135 Special Forces Battalion deployed at Dutse Kura detected BH/ISWAP terrorists forcibly herding civilians and vehicles off the road and into the surrounding bush using their surveillance system. The unit’s Quick Reaction Force was immediately mobilised, while reinforcement troops from 27 Task Force Brigade Garrison were simultaneously activated to join the rescue. Converging on the terrorists in a well-coordinated pursuit towards the Mangari-Dora general area, OPHK troops engaged the insurgents and forced them to abandon their captives and flee in confusion. All 92 kidnapped victims, comprising 52 males, 33 females and 7 children, along with 8 vehicles, were successfully recovered. In a desperate bid to delay the advancing troops, the fleeing terrorists covertly emplaced three IEDs along the Bula Zarma, Mangari general area in a calculated ambush attempt. The plot failed completely. The unit’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal team responded with precision and successfully detonated all three devices, clearing the route and enabling troops to press the pursuit approximately five kilometres beyond the Mangari general area. Subsequent search operations were conducted across the area, but the terrorists having abandoned their captives, their vehicles and their tactical objectives had scattered in complete disarray. OPHK troops sustained zero personnel or equipment casualties throughout the operation. The rescued civilians were consolidated, provided immediate welfare support and escorted by troops all the way to Damaturu, where they were released to continue their journey. This operation once again affirms the operational reach, surveillance capability and combat readiness of OPHK and serves as an unambiguous message that any attempt by terrorists to harm, kidnap or intimidate civilians will be met with swift and overwhelming force across the entirety of the North East Theatre. *SANI UBA* Lieutenant Colonel Media Information Officer Headquarters Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI 23 May, 2026

[/b]NIGERIAN ARMY SUSTAINS REGIONAL SECURITY POSTURE, SAFEGUARDS DEMOCRATIC PROCESS IN BENIN REPUBLIC [b] The Nigerian Army (NA), acting on the directive of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces o Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellecy, Bola Ahmed Tinubu deployed a company of troops to the Republic of Benin in April 2026 as part of proactive measures to safeguard democratic stability and forestall any breakdown of law and order during the country’s electioneering period. Although not directly tasked with election conduct duties, the Nigerian Army troops were strategically positioned to provide a stabilizing presence before, during and after the electoral process. The deployment was aimed at deterring potential security threats, reinforcing public confidence and supporting a peaceful democratic transition in line with Nigeria’s commitment to regional peace and cooperation. The troops, operating under Operation ATILEHIN ALAFIYA II, maintained a high level of operational readiness throughout their stay, conducting patrols, monitoring key locations and sustaining a visible security presence across critical areas within the Cotonou metropolis and its environs. This forward-leaning posture culminated in the successful provision of security support during the presidential inauguration ceremony of President Romuald Wadagni. Nigerian Army personnel were deployed in the early hours of the day to strategic locations, including the main inauguration venue and other designated points, establishing a comprehensive and layered security architecture that ensured a peaceful and hitch-free event. The Commanding Officer exercised direct operational oversight at the venue, while other elements were deployed across multiple static positions. In addition, mobile patrol teams conducted area domination operations to enhance situational awareness, deter criminal elements and reinforce the overall security framework throughout the duration of the ceremony. The successful execution of this mission underscores the capacity of the Nigerian Army for rapid deployment, operational professionalism and its readiness to support regional peace initiatives. It also highlights Nigeria’s leadership role in promoting democratic governance and stability within the West African sub-region. The Nigerian Army remains committed to working collaboratively with regional partners and relevant stakeholders to ensure a secure and peaceful environment across the region, in line with the objectives of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu has commended the troops for their discipline, resilience and exemplary conduct, noting that their performance reflects the core values and operational excellence of the Nigerian Army. The Nigerian Army will continue to uphold its constitutional mandate while contributing meaningfully to regional and international peace support efforts. The inauguration ceremony was well attended by the President Commander-in -Chief Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu represented by the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima and other dignitaries from Nigeria.

[/b]PRESS RELEASE NAF PRECISION AIR STRIKES NEUTRALISE TERRORISTS, DISRUPT ATTACK PLANS IN NIGER STATE[b] The Air Component of Operation Fansan Yamma Sector 1 recorded significant operational successes against terrorist elements during a series of intelligence-led kinetic operations conducted between 20 and 23 May 2026 across Rafi and Mariga Local Government Areas of Niger State. On 20 May 2026, following credible intelligence on the movement and convergence of terrorists around Tungan Bako and Kasuwan Daji in Rafi LGA, the Air Component in conjunction with the Nigerian Army Space Command Regiment executed precision air interdiction strikes which successfully neutralised several terrorists and effectively disrupted their operational build-up within the area. Similarly, on 21 May 2026, terrorists moving on motorcycles and on foot with rustled cattle from Tungunguna towards Uregi were positively identified and engaged, resulting in their neutralisation and the destruction of their movement and withdrawal capability. On same day, the Air Component also provided close air support to troops in contact with terrorists at Tungan Makeri, successfully engaging the terrorists and restoring operational advantage to friendly forces. In continuation of sustained offensive operations, the Air Component conducted armed reconnaissance missions on 23 May 2026 over Dogon Dawa and adjoining locations in Mariga LGA following reports of planned terrorist attacks on troop positions. Terrorist elements observed attempting tactical movement within the area were swiftly acquired and engaged with precision strikes, leading to the successful neutralisation of a significant number of the terrorists and the disruption of the planned attacks. Post-strike assessments confirmed the effectiveness of the missions in degrading terrorist capabilities and denying the terrorists freedom of action within the general area. Reaffirming the Nigerian Air Force’s unwavering resolve to defend the nation and protect the lives of Nigerians in collaboration with other security agencies. The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, commended the professionalism and precision of the personnel involved, while assuring Nigerians that the NAF will continue to sustain aggressive, intelligence-driven air operations aimed at neutralising terrorist threats, protecting innocent lives and restoring lasting peace across all troubled regions.

[/b]BLOODY WEEKEND FOR ISWAP/BOKO HARAM ATTEMPT ON LOCATION IN KIRAWA AS HEAVY LOSSES INFLICTED ON THE TERRORISTS[b] Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), under Operation DESERT SANITY and SIEGE OPERATIONS, have successfully thwarted attempted attack by suspected ISWAP/Boko Haram terrorists on troops location in the Kirawa axis of Sector 1 OPHK Area of Responsibility in the early hours of 22 May 2026. A number of the suspected terrorists attempted to infiltrate positions held by troops of 153 Task Force Battalion and associated forces along the Nigeria–Cameroon border axis. The attack was swiftly detected and met with overwhelming firepower from alert troops and CJTF, who held their ground and contained the assault. The terrorists were forced to abort their mission and withdraw in confusion towards the Cameroon axis, sustaining heavy casualties during the engagement. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance assets, alongside platforms of Air Component of OPHK and partner forces, provided coordinated support throughout the operation. Following the encounter, troops confirmed the neutralisation of 12 terrorists, while several others were observed retreating with gunshot wounds, as indicated by blood trails along their withdrawal routes. Recovered items include AK-47 rifles, rocket-propelled grenade systems, ammunition, and a PKT machine gun, further degrading the terrorists’ combat capability in the area. Troops of OPHK, in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force, have maintained their positions with heightened vigilance while exploitation operations continue to track fleeing elements and recover additional materiel. The Joint Task Force reassures the public of its unwavering commitment to sustaining operational pressure on terrorist elements until they are completely neutralised across the theatre. The Military High Command commended the troops for their gallantry, utmost professionalism, and swift response, the third in the week urging them to maintain the operational momentum in the collective interest of national security.

[/b]TROOPS OF OPERATION HADIN KAI NEUTRALISE TERRORISTS, RESCUE VICTIMS, RECOVER ARMS, AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES ACROSS NORTH EAST THEATRE[b] Troops of the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), operating under Operation DESERT SANITY and related missions, have recorded significant operational successes across the theatre, including the neutralisation of terrorists, rescue of abducted persons, recovery of arms, ammunition and explosive ordnance, as well as the arrest of criminal collaborators. In sustained offensive operations, troops of OPHK, supported by the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), conducted coordinated offensives in the Valle, Ashigashiya and Gakara general areas. During the operations, troops made contact with suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists and engaged them with superior firepower, neutralising two insurgents, while others fled towards the Ngoshe axis. The area was subsequently cleared, with no casualties recorded among own troops. Similarly, troops operating along the Bravo Kilo 10 axis intercepted suspected terrorists and engaged them effectively, neutralising one insurgent. Items recovered from the encounter included a radio set and a mobile phone. Further demonstrating operational effectiveness, troops conducting offensive operations along the Ngoshe–Amuda corridor rescued an eight-year-old boy abducted during the 3 March 2026 attack on Ngoshe community. The victim, identified as Abubakar Mublagha, was medically evaluated and reunited with his family. In a related development, troops of OPHK conducting operations around Uvaha, a deserted village along the Gwoza–Limankara axis, rescued a 20-year-old abducted Fulani male identified as Dahiru Ahamdu. The victim disclosed that he escaped from his captors following intense artillery bombardments by troops, which struck terrorist camps, neutralised two insurgents and created panic within the enclave. He further revealed that he was abducted on 8 May 2026 while grazing cattle at Bororo village in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State and subsequently held in a terrorist hideout within the Mandara Mountains. The victim has since undergone medical examination and was successfully reunited with his family through community leadership. In a separate operation, troops of OPHK deployed at Buni Gari, acting on credible intelligence, recovered a cache of arms, ammunition and explosive ordnance abandoned by fleeing terrorists in the Magza general area. Items recovered included four 40mm RPG bombs, one 81mm mortar bomb and four 60mm mortar bombs. The explosives were safely secured by Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams. In another development, troops of OPHK arrested a suspected collaborator identified as Kuti Muhammad, a member of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), over alleged links with terrorist elements. The suspect is currently in custody for further investigation. Similarly, troops of OPHK swiftly responded to a reported armed robbery incident in Garin Gwigwi village, Biu Local Government Area, leading to the arrest of three suspects identified as Aliyu Mamadu, Umar Mohammed and Adamu Aliyu. Items recovered included mobile phones, suspected illicit substances, charms, jewellery, cash, a dagger, a Quranic booklet and a locally made firearm. A Dane gun earlier reported stolen was recovered and returned to its rightful owner after due verification. Investigations are ongoing to apprehend other accomplices. Additionally, troops in conjunction with local hunters arrested four suspected cattle rustlers and terrorist collaborators at Kwaya Kusar Market with six rustled cattle. The suspects are currently undergoing preliminary investigation. Troops across all operational areas of OPHK continue to maintain high vigilance and an aggressive operational posture aimed at denying terrorists and criminal elements freedom of action within the North East theatre. The Joint Task Force reassures the public of its unwavering commitment to sustaining ongoing operations aimed at defeating terrorism, restoring lasting peace and security, and promoting socio-economic stability across the North East region. The Military High Command commends the troops for their professionalism, resilience and sustained operational successes, while urging them to maintain the current momentum in the collective interest of national security.

[/b]NAF ADVANCES OPERATIONAL MODERNISATION THROUGH STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENTS AT SAHA 2026 IN TÜRKIYE[b] The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has reinforced its commitment to operational modernisation and strategic defence cooperation through its participation at the SAHA 2026 International Defence and Aerospace Exhibition held in Istanbul, Türkiye, from 5–9 May 2026. Led by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, the NAF delegation engaged with global defence stakeholders at one of the world’s foremost aerospace and defence exhibitions. With over 1,700 exhibitors and delegations from more than 120 countries, SAHA 2026 provided a strategic platform for the NAF to deepen international partnerships, assess emerging technologies and strengthen operational readiness amid evolving security challenges. During the exhibition, the NAF delegation held extensive engagements with leading Turkish defence companies as well as other key industry stakeholders. [/b]Discussions focused on critical operational areas such as C-130 fleet sustainment, T-129 ATAK helicopter support, UAV acquisition and local production, flight simulation systems, air defence solutions, precision-guided weapon integration and ammunition sustainment[b]. The engagements also explored opportunities for technology transfer, indigenous capacity development and long-term strategic partnerships aimed at enhancing the NAF’s operational capability, technical expertise and self-reliance, particularly in support of ongoing counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations across the country. As the global security environment continues to evolve, the importance of advanced technology, sustainable logistics support and robust international defence partnerships remains central to mission success. The operational engagements and strategic insights gained from SAHA 2026 will further strengthen the NAF’s ongoing counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations through improved fleet serviceability, enhanced precision strike capability and expanded indigenous technical capacity. The participation further demonstrates the Service’s unwavering commitment to building a modern, agile and mission-ready air force capable of safeguarding Nigeria’s airspace while effectively supporting joint and multi-domain operations in line with national security objectives. #NigerianAirForce #AirPower #OperationalReadiness #DefencePartnerships #SAHA2026 #Innovation #TechnologyTransfer #ISR #UASTech #NigeriaFirst

[/b]Who did the U.S. kill in Nigeria overnight[b] U.S. forces, in partnership with the Armed Forces of Nigeria, killed Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Ali al-Mainuki, the head of ISIS’s Maktab al-Furqan. Maktab al-Furqan is the ISIS office that oversees ISIS operational activities across West Africa and the Sahel, including the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Nigeria and the Islamic State Sahel Province (ISSP), which operates across Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon, as well as networks in Tunisia, Algeria, and Libya. Its core responsibilities include the distribution of funds, reportedly reallocating up to 50 percent of revenue from larger provinces to sustain smaller affiliates, the management of financial channels such as bank accounts and cryptocurrencies, and oversight of operational support and training. The office plays a central role in sustaining ISIS’s financial architecture across Africa. While overall funding levels have declined in recent years due to internal weaknesses within ISWAP, Maktab al-Furqan remains critical to enabling operations across the Sahel. Back to Abu Bakr. He was a Nigerian national born in 1982 in Borno State. Active within ISIS networks since at least 2018, he is assessed to have been a key figure in coordinating financial and operational activity across the region and continued to support ISIS-linked operations throughout West Africa. Did the U.S. kill the #2 of ISIS? No. It depends on how you define the #2 of ISIS. If you view it as the deputy to the Emir of ISIS, Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Qurashi, then the #2 is Abu Saleh al-Obaidi, who is currently in Syria with Abu Hafs. If you view the #2 as the head of ISIS’s Senior Shura, then it is Sheikh Abdul Qadir Mumin, who is currently based in Puntland, Somalia. Did the U.S. kill the head of global operations for ISIS? No. The head of ISIS global operations is Hasan Ali Mujwal Hussein. He was appointed on May 17, 2025, following the death of Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, aka Abu Khadija al-Iraqi. His deputy for global operations is Abu Ja’afar al-Shalahi. These are the two terrorists currently leading ISIS external plotting efforts against the U.S. homeland.
