A female family member of a suspected ISWAP terrorist has surrendered to troops of Operation Hadin Kai in Dikwa Local Government Area of Borno State.
Intelligence sources told security analyst Zagazola Makama on Saturday that the adult female surrendered at about 6:05 p.m. on February 26, 2026 to troops of the 24 Task Force Brigade deployed in the area.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect fled from Tokombere Village in Gwoza Local Government Area of the state before turning herself in to the military.
She is currently in the custody of troops for further profiling and necessary administrative action.
Sources said the development was part of ongoing counter-insurgency operations under Operation Desert Sanity, a special operation being conducted by troops of Operation Hadin Kai to sustain pressure on terrorist elements in the North-East.
