OPERATION HADIN KAI: AIR COMPONENT NEUTRALISES TERRORIST LOGISTICS HUB AND ENCLAVE IN PRECISION AIR STRIKE AT JILLI, GUBIO LGA OF BORNO STATE
The Air Component of Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), in a carefully planned and intelligence-driven operation, has successfully conducted a precision air strike on a known terrorist enclave and logistics hub located near the abandoned village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State. The successful strike, executed on 11 April 2026, followed sustained intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions over the Bindul–Jilli axis, an area long identified as a major terrorist movement corridor and convergence point for Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists and their collaborators.
It will be recalled that in January 2026, troops moving from Gubio towards Damasak came under a major Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack along the road at Bindul, resulting in the tragic loss of eight soldiers, while several others were wounded in action. More recently, on 9 April, coordinated attacks were recorded in Ngamdu and Benisheik, supported by the same terrorist logistics network. Consequently, the Theatre intensified overhead surveillance and intelligence gathering across the area in response to persistent reports of terrorist movement and logistics activity.
On 11 April 2026, multiple reports were received of ISWAP Gun Trucks(GT) and Motorcycles (MC) moving along the axis. Consequently, ISR coverage over the area was immediately intensified. During the surveillance mission, a contingent of motorcycles was observed moving in the direction of Jilli, followed shortly by the movement of several additional vehicles, all converging on the same location. These suspicious movements were subsequently corroborated by credible human intelligence sources, confirming that the converging elements were terrorists, their collaborators, and logistics handlers. In line with established operational procedures, a rigorous and professional targeting process was undertaken. Target fidelity was confirmed through multiple credible Human Intelligence sources, supported by persistent aerial surveillance. Upon final validation, the Air Component executed a series of precision strikes on the objective, while Surveillance platforms maintained continuous overwatch for real-time battle damage assessment.
Post-strike assessment confirmed that the target area was struck with high accuracy, resulting in the destruction of the identified terrorist logistics enclave. Scores of terrorists were neutralised in the strike, with their vehicles and technicals destroyed, while surviving elements were observed fleeing in multiple directions. Intelligence further indicates that the neutralised elements were in the final stages of receiving logistics from couriers, for coordinated attacks on troop locations within the Gubio axis. This decisive action has therefore significantly disrupted imminent terrorist plans and degraded their operational capability within the Theatre.
Instructively, on 12 April 2026, a terrorist logistics courier identified as “Turja Bulu”, was arrested at Ngamdu Town, and upon preliminary investigation confessed that he took part in the attack at 29 Bde location on 9 April 2026 at Benisheik and had been dispatched by ISWAP from Jilli where most of his fellow terrorists were hibernating to provide food items for another group of terrorists currently hibernating around the Magumeri-Gubio General Area.
Random musing....
Health care is meant to be basic, but it's so out of reach of many Nigerians.
Many die needlessly while a greater number has given up. They go through excruciating pains and are just waiting for death.
This breaks me anytime i think about this reality of fellow humans like me. I always ask, what is their sin?
One of my street bros is sick , and WE decided to intervene. We have made a deposit of 600k into his hospital card, hoping it covers the treatment.
Surprisingly, within two days, i have been made to pay almost 140k for tests.
There are many people, like him, without any help.
Our system is too hostile towards the poor and vulnerables.
Life is not supposed to be that cruel to people.
May God touch our leaders!
May Allah be pleased with Mawlanā Shaykh Kamaludeen al-Adaby (Alhaji Agba) and preserve all the students of Adaby and lovers of Adabiyyah all over the world. Āmīn 🤲.

What was proposed then:
1. General VAT increase on almost all items
2. VAT applies on many basic consumptions
3. Businesses can NOT claim tax credit for VAT paid on most of their costs

What is proposed now:
1. Specific VAT increase on a few items
2. Remove VAT on most basic consumptions (about 80% of goods and services)
3. Businesses can claim tax credit for VAT paid on all their costs

Social media is a constant reminder of why you must choose your friends wisely and keep your circle small. Before today, some of these characters rushing to demonize you-know-who over this disturbing and now-deleted private matter were his allies, and you would have sworn they would help him in a time like this.
No one asks you to defend a friend's transgressions, whether civil or criminal. A true friend is the one who intervenes to de-escalate a crisis, not the one who exploits it to appear good or entertain strangers on the internet for fleeting amusement. Whoever amplifies a friend’s misfortune is not worthy of being called a friend.
That said, social media is meant for public matters, ladies and gentlemen with short attention span. Your private life, including whom you sleep with and whom you feed, has no place being shared in this toxic environment. Have a peaceful weekend. ✌️
I only have to blame GEJ for failing to lay the foundation for the most important road along the southern corridor. GEJ was politically weak and naive.
I have not seen any Northerner on my TL lamenting about the coastal road. They are politically smart, and they understand how Nigeria works. It's the daft ones from the South and their useless TV stations that are making the loudest noise. They hope that the project will fail or get abandoned.
PMB left his mark with mega projects in the North. Despite the impact of double recessions, covid and economic downturn, he forged ahead with the 357km Abuja - Kaduna - Kano expressway, Abuja - Kaduna - Kano standard gauge, AKK gas pipeline and at least 60 FG toad projects bwtween the NE and NW. He started them despite the challenges and other presidents will / must complete the projects as long as Nigeria continues to exist.
Retards from the South are the ones who think that Nigeria doesn't have money to build a road that connects 8 coastal states which are the cash cows and the keys to the Marine and oil / gas economy of the country. They think there are "more important" things to do.
I have never seen any group of unfortunate individuals in large numbers. Even if the money is not available, it is your job to advocate and force the government to create a sustainable funding mechanism by any means necessary. It is not for you to question the economic significance of the project and hope that it fails or gets abandoned.
For those in & around Edmonton, CA who can attend, our dear brother and friend @oddy4real will be buried today 30th December after Asr Prayers at the Edmonton Muslim Cemetery.
May Allah forgive his sins, grant him Jannah and give the family the fortitude to bear this loss.🙏
To those fixated on doing things the old ways because change is misinterpreted as a fight against their beloved, don't forget the former President had to introduce policies too, & they were not against anyone. At least, let this govt fail on their own policies, allow them breath
President Buhari threw everything at helping local production, but we got the exact opposite of his intentions. Food prices went off the roof, farmers were shipping loans abroad to buy houses, while the masses cussed out the President. We need change of direction to fix Nigeria
Again, you can't defend Buhari for 8 years and think you can suddenly become an objective critic of Tinubu's appointment. You're only exposing your hypocrisy.
We defended the fPMB appointment of Hammed Alli as Customs Boss in 2015.
Abi, Una don forget.…
Make I remind you, we cited Section 5 and Section 171 of the Nigerian Constitution.
Those same sections still apply to appointments made by BAT.
It’s best to acknowledge this and avoid hypocrisy.
There is a govt circular from the office of SGF in those days that details the work schedule of a Minister, Minister of State, Special Adviser, Senior Special Assistant to the President and VP. Look for it.
