Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have discovered and safely detonated an improvised explosive device (IED) in Mairari town along the Gajiram axis of Borno State.
Counter-security analyst Zagazola Makama posted on X that
the device was detected at about 9 am on April 17 by an Explosive Ordnance
Disposal (EOD) and route-scanning team deployed from a Forward Operating Base
in the area.
According to sources, “the IED was found at the edge of the
town’s exit gate,” raising concerns about possible threats to civilians and
security personnel using the route.
The EOD team later carried out a controlled detonation of
the device without incident. After the operation, the area was carefully
scanned to ensure no other explosives were present.
Preliminary findings indicate that the device may have been
planted by insurgents before troops were deployed to the location.
Sources added that while the general security situation
across the area remains calm, it is still unpredictable.
They noted that ongoing military operations are aimed at
securing communities and keeping key routes safe.
