Troops of the Nigerian Army have dismantled terrorist hideouts in Ari Koriri village, Mobbar Local Government Area of Borno State, during an intelligence-driven operation targeting insurgents operating in the area.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama disclosed this in a post on X on Friday, citing security sources who said the operation was carried out at about 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
According to the report, troops of the 145 Battalion (Motorised), 5 Brigade, under Sector 3, launched the clearance operation after receiving intelligence that insurgents were using the village as a hideout.
The troops later concluded the operation and returned to their base at approximately 4:40 p.m.
The operation, he noted, is part of ongoing military efforts to eliminate insurgent hideouts, prevent terrorists from establishing safe havens and limit their movements within the Lake Chad operational theatre.
