The Maritime component of Operation Hadin Kai have successfully repelled an attempted infiltration by suspected Boko Haram terrorists on the Lake Chad Naval Base located at Fish Dam in Baga, Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.

The attack, which occurred around 1:00 a.m. on Wednesday, was revealed by counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama on his X handle.

He disclosed that the terrorists launched the assault in an attempt to sabotage the Swamp Boggeys recently procured by the Borno State Government to support waterways clearance operations in the Lake Chad region.

The troops swiftly responded to the incursion, engaging the insurgents in a heavy gunfight. Naval personnel at the base held their ground as reinforcements arrived from nearby Baga. The gun-battle reportedly lasted over two hours before the terrorists were forced to retreat.

“Although the base resisted the incursion, minimal damage was recorded. An ambulance and two other vehicles were destroyed, while some personnel sustained injuries during the engagement,” a source quoted by Makama disclosed.

However, the Swamp Boggeys remained secure and untouched by the attackers.

The Air Component Command (ACC) of Operation Hadin Kai is conducting follow-on pursuit and exploitation operations along the Lake Chad waterways in a bid to track down and neutralize the fleeing terrorists.
