Troops of Operation HADIN KAI, in collaboration with local vigilantes and hunters, have neutralised a suspected Boko Haram commander and arrested an alleged drone supplier linked to the terrorist group.
Security sources disclosed that Abdullahi Mafa, described as a former hybrid commander of Boko Haram, was killed during a coordinated operation in Madagali Local Government Area.
In a separate operation, troops reportedly arrested a suspected logistics and drone supplier to the group, identified as Dauda Usman Gubula, during a raid at Madagali Motor Park.
According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, the encounter occurred on Thursday when troops engaged suspected Boko Haram fighters in an ambush along the Visik River line. The confrontation led to the neutralisation of the commander.
Makama further revealed that during the follow-up operation, security operatives apprehended Gubula and recovered two aerial drones and 20 solar power banks believed to be intended for terrorist activities.
The suspect is currently in custody and undergoing investigation.
Military authorities have reiterated their commitment to intensifying operations aimed at dismantling Boko Haram networks and restoring lasting security to affected communities.
