Operation HADIN KAI has recorded another significant breakthrough in the ongoing counter-terrorism campaign, encircling two senior terrorists commanders into surrendering troops of Sector 2 in Geidam.

The surrendered terrorists, identified as Munzirs within the terrorist leadership structure, arrived Maiduguri at approximately 1930 hours on 5 Jun 2026, and are currently in military custody undergoing detailed profiling, debriefing and intelligence exploitation.

Preliminary interrogation indicated that the two surrendered commanders occupied influential positions and possess extensive knowledge of the group’s operational activities, command arrangements and logistics architecture.

Initial intelligence obtained from the Terrorists provided valuable insights into their operational methods, sustainment mechanisms and support networks. The information is expected to significantly enhance ongoing intelligence-led operations aimed at locating, disrupting and dismantling remaining terrorist enclaves across the North East Theatre.

The surrender of the two commanders represented another major setback for the terrorist faction and further validates the effectiveness of the sustained offensive operations being conducted by troops of Operation HADIN KAI in conjunction with Partners.

The relentless military pressure, supported by coordinated land and air operations as well as enhanced intelligence efforts, continues to deny the terrorists freedom of movement, degrade their combat capability and erode their command and control structures. Increasingly, terrorist leaders and fighters are finding continued resistance untenable, compelling them to abandon the insurgency and surrender to troops.
