Troops of 153 Task Force Battalion, in collaboration with Civilian Joint Task Force and Hybrid Forces, have neutralised two suspected ISWAP/JAS terrorists during a fighting patrol in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.

Security sources said the operation was conducted at about 9:00 a.m. on May 15, 2026, covering Valle, Ashigashiya and Gakara general areas.
