The high-stakes encounter unfolded on Friday when insurgents attempted to overrun positions held by the 153 Task Force Battalion along the strategic Kirawa axis in Borno State. According to a statement released on Saturday by the theatre’s Media Information Officer, Lt. Col. Sani Uba, alert soldiers spotted the advancing fighters early and immediately pinned them down with superior firepower.
Supported by the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), the Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai, and intelligence surveillance assets, the military forced the attackers into a chaotic retreat.
“Following the encounter, troops confirmed the neutralisation of 12 terrorists, while several others escaped with gunshot wounds, with blood trails observed along their withdrawal routes,” Lt. Col. Uba stated.
The battleground recovery yielded devastating losses for the insurgents, including AK-47 rifles, rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) systems, a PKT machine gun, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. The military high command has commended the troops for their swift tactical response, urging them to maintain maximum pressure as aggressive mop-up operations continue along the border corridor.

BLOODRAILS IN KIRAWA: 12 Insurgents Decimated as Joint Forces Foil Attack on Military Base
A deadly cross-border assault by insurgents went horribly wrong on Friday after gallant Nigerian troops intercepted and obliterated a terrorist cell attempting to infiltrate military bases in Borno State.
The theater command of Operation Hadin Kai confirmed that 12 terrorists were killed in the fierce gun duel, while dozens of others fled back across the Cameroon border with severe gunshot wounds.
Spokesperson Lt. Col. Sani Uba revealed that the attackers targeted the 153 Task Force Battalion but were instantly repelled by a combined wall of firepower from frontline troops, the Civilian JTF, and coordinated air strikes. The swift intervention completely degraded the attackers’ combat capability, leaving them to abandon their dead and their arsenal.
Items recovered from the blood-stained withdrawal routes include rocket-propelled grenade launchers, a PKT machine gun, and multiple assault rifles. High-level exploitation missions are currently underway in the border forests to hunt down the remaining wounded survivors, while troops maintain a state of heightened alert to protect local communities.

CRIME TSUNAMI: Kidnappers Pocket A Staggering ₦7.7 Billion Across The Country In Mind-Blowing Report!.
A report by SBM Intelligence titled Economics of Nigeria’s Kidnap Industry 2026 reveals that kidnappers across Nigeria amassed a staggering ₦7.779 billion in ransoms between July 2025 and June 2026, which accounts for 34 percent of the total ₦22.856 billion demanded during that timeframe. Although total demands decreased from the previous cycle’s ₦48 billion (which was inflated by a massive ₦30 billion demand in Delta State), the proportion of actual ransom collected surged dramatically compared to the prior period’s 5.35 percent. This year’s record payments were heavily propelled by large-scale mass abductions capable of holding hundreds of victims under intense pressure.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Terrorist and insurgent factions dominated the collections, with the JAS faction and its affiliates raking in roughly ₦7 billion—accounting for about 90 percent of nationwide ransom payouts. This total was driven primarily by two massive incidents:
-
A ₦5 billion ransom reportedly paid following the April 2026 abduction of 416 people in Ngoshe, Borno State, led by commander Ali Ngulde, marking the largest single ransom payment in SBM’s database.
-
An estimated ₦2 billion payout following the November 2025 kidnapping of 315 pupils and staff members from St Mary’s School in Papiri, Niger State.
Beyond these major terrorist-linked factions, unaffiliated kidnappers and bandits collected ₦719.4 million (about nine percent of total payments), while the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) secured ₦53 million.
Geographically, Kwara State registered the highest ransom demands at ₦7.375 billion (32.3 percent of the national total, largely driven by a ₦3.52 billion demand linked to Boko Haram activity around Woro and Wawa), followed by Borno at ₦5.698 billion and Kaduna at ₦1.459 billion. However, when looking at actual payouts, Borno led the country with ₦5.0545 billion collected, trailed by Niger (₦2 billion), Kwara (₦278.3 million), Kaduna (₦64 million), and Sokoto (₦58 million), with these five states alone accounting for 95.8 percent of nationwide ransom collections. Conversely, states like Kebbi, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Sokoto, and Imo saw much lower demands, and minimal payouts—such as ₦70,000 in Cross River or ₦100,000 in Bauchi—often represented token settlements or arrangements finalized with supplies and food rather than large cash sums.
