Troops of the Nigerian Army have foiled an attempted improvised explosive device (IED) attack and killed suspected terrorists along the Maiduguri–Konduga–Kawuri road in Borno state.
Citing security sources, Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, said the incident occurred at about 11:30 pm on Thursday, April 2, when an ambush team along the main supply route spotted suspected terrorists attempting to plant an IED.
Makama said the troops swiftly engaged the terrorists with a rocket-propelled grenade, triggering an explosion that killed them.
The publication added that the troops recovered two AK-47 rifles during a follow-up exploitation of the scene.
It said the troops have sustained heightened surveillance to prevent attacks along the Maiduguri–Konduga–Kawuri axis.
In a related development, GISTSMATE MEDIA reported that the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) said 2,016 ex-combatants have graduated from the Operation Safe Corridor (OPSC) programme, out of 300,000 terrorists who surrendered to troops over the past 10 years.
It said though the surrendered number included women and children, the programme does not admit this category.
Operation Safe Corridor, launched in 2016, is a federal government‑led non‑kinetic counter‑insurgency programme designed to encourage, rehabilitate, and reintegrate repentant former combatants — especially those who have surrendered from armed groups such as Boko Haram and splinter groups — back into society.
