Troops recover 56 IEDs planted by ISWAP on Borno Bridge.

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have recovered about 56 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) planted by suspected Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters on the Marte-Dikwa bridge in Borno State. 

The IEDs were strategically buried at key points along the bridge, aiming to cause mass casualties and disrupt movement in the area, but the swift detection and removal of the explosives prevented a potentially devastating attack that could have resulted in significant loss of lives and property. 

The Marte-Dikwa axis remains a hotspot for insurgent activity, with troops sustaining aggressive clearance and security operations to neutralize threats.

The discovery was made during a clearance patrol by soldiers of the 24 Brigade in Dikwa, while efforts are underway to track down the perpetrators and dismantle any remaining IED networks operating in the region. 

The military's proactive approach has been crucial in preventing attacks and ensuring safe passage for residents and personnel in the area. 

By foiling this attack, the troops have saved countless lives and maintained stability in the region.
