Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have recovered 56 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) allegedly planted by suspected terrorists on the Marte–Dikwa Bridge in Borno State.

This was revealed in a post by security analyst, Zagazola Makama, on X on Friday.

According to the post, the explosives were discovered during a clearance operation carried out by soldiers from the 24 Brigade in Dikwa, Borno State.

Makama stated that the IEDs were carefully placed by suspected members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) with the aim of causing mass casualties and blocking both military and civilian movement along the road.

“The troops, acting on credible intelligence, uncovered the devices before detonation. A total of 56 prepared IEDs were recovered at the scene,” the post said.

An Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team was quickly deployed to safely remove and neutralize the devices.

Photos from the operation show the explosives laid across major parts of the bridge, which connects key towns in northern Borno.

Military authorities have reportedly maintained surveillance in the area while further clearance operations continue.
