Troops attached to Forward Operating Bases (FOB) AUDU and BABANNA have destroyed a suspected terrorist hideout during a patrol operation in Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama disclosed the development in a report shared on his official X account on Wednesday.
According to the report, the operation was carried out around 10:30 a.m. on June 14, 2026, after security personnel received credible intelligence about the presence of a suspected terrorist camp within the Saminaka–Kanau axis.
The troops conducted a fighting patrol across the area and searched locations linked to criminal activities.
Although the soldiers did not encounter any suspected terrorists during the mission, they reportedly located and dismantled the hideout. They also destroyed a logistics and administrative facility believed to have been used by the criminal group.
Military sources cited in the report said the operation was executed successfully and without any incident.
The report added that security forces are continuing efforts to maintain a strong presence in the area and prevent criminal elements from operating freely within the region.
