He said that the NAF, guided by painstaking Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, identified several terrorists stockpiling logistics and planting Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) around Wajiroko.

According to him, surveillance later tracked their movement to a concealed location housing a gun truck, ammunition stockpiles, and fuel reserves.
