Troops Foil Boko Haram, ISWAP Attempt To Overrun Borno Military Formation

Troops Foil Boko Haram, ISWAP Attempt to Overrun Borno Military Formation Troops of the Nigerian Army, supported by the Nigerian Air Force and the Civilian Joint Task Force CJTF, have foiled an attempt by Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province ISWAP terrorists to overrun a military formation in Pulka, Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State. The coordinated operation prevented the terrorists from taking control of the military position as security forces responded to the attempted assault. The operation involved ground troops working alongside air support from the Nigerian Air Force, with members of the CJTF also contributing to efforts to repel the attackers. Pulka and surrounding communities in Gwoza have remained important areas in the fight against insurgency in Borno State, making the protection of military formations and civilian communities a key security priority. The successful defence of the formation underscores the continued efforts of Nigerian security forces to contain terrorist groups and prevent them from expanding their operational reach in the Northeast. The military is expected to sustain operations against Boko Haram and ISWAP in the region, using coordinated ground and air operations to disrupt terrorist activities and protect communities. The latest development comes as security agencies continue efforts to strengthen stability and restore normalcy in communities affected by years of insurgency.
