Troops of Operation Hadin Kai, in collaboration with local vigilantes and hunters, have killed a senior Boko Haram commander and arrested a suspected drone and logistics supplier during separate but related operations in Madagali Local Government Area.
It was gathered on Thursday that the troops engaged suspected Boko Haram fighters during an ambush along the Visik River line.
The encounter resulted in the death of Abdullahi Mafa, a former hybrid commander notorious for orchestrating attacks in the Madagali council area.
A security analyst, Zagazola Makama, confirmed that later, around 6:30pm, troops carried out a raid at Madagali Motor Park, arresting 64-year-old Dauda Usman Gubula, a suspected Boko Haram collaborator and drone supplier.
Authorities recovered two aerial drones and 20 solar power banks from the suspect.
Officials stated that Gubula is currently in custody undergoing investigation, while military operations in the area continue to disrupt Boko Haram networks and restore stability to the region.
