Monguno, Borno – In a significant operation, the Troops of Sector 3 Operation HADIN KAI, in collaboration with Intelligence Operatives from the Multi National Joint Task Force (MNJTF), have successfully apprehended a 45-year-old terrorist informant, Aji Dala, in Monguno Local Government Area.

The arrest took place on November 14, 2023, in the CHARAMARI area of the town. Aji Dala is believed to be involved in an impending threat against Monguno, as indicated by a Threat Letter allegedly originating from the ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province) terrorists. The letter, signed by Amir Hallat Muhammed, warned of an attack on Monguno town scheduled for November 17, 2023.

The circulation of the purported letter had instilled fear and anxiety among the residents of Monguno. However, it was later revealed that the document was a deliberate attempt by ISWAP elements to sow panic in the community.

A reliable military source swiftly dispelled the concerns, assuring the public of the military’s preparedness to counter any threat. The source confidently stated, “They have attempted such acts in the past and failed miserably. Let them try it again; Monguno is their burial ground. They are well aware of this fact.”

This successful arrest of the ISWAP informant highlights the effectiveness and vigilance of the security forces in thwarting potential terrorist attacks, bolstering the safety and security of the region.
