Nigerian Army Troops Repel ISWAP Terrorists’ Attack in Damboa, Neutralise 16
Damboa (Core Reporters) As Nigerian Army troops across the country intensified efforts to clear out criminal elements in the society, troops of Operation HADIN KAI successfully repelled a coordinated attack on Damboa town in a decisive victory against the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), in the early hours of Friday, May 23, 2025.
Report said, the ISWAP terrorists launched a fierce attack on the Azir Bridge axis in 25 Task Force Brigade Area of Responsibility.
