Troops of 403 Amphibious Brigade, in collaboration with members of the Civilian Joint Task Force, CJTF, have recovered arms and ammunition during a clearance operation along a major supply route in Borno State.
This was made known in a post on X by Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency and security expert in the Lake Chad region.
Makama stated that the recovery was made at about 12:00 p.m. on April 29 during a shoulder clearance operation along the Baga–Cross Kauwa road in Kukawa Local Government Area.
According to him, the operation, conducted by troops alongside Explosive Ordnance Disposal, EOD, personnel and civilian volunteers, was part of ongoing efforts to secure the main supply route and prevent insurgent activities.
The security expert added that items recovered include one AK-47 rifle, one magazine and 30 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition.
“No contact was made with any suspected terrorists during the operation, which was carried out successfully without incident.
“Troops would continue clearance and surveillance operations to ensure sustained security along key routes in the area,” he said.
