In a daring operation on July 30, 2024, the combined forces, which included the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and the Hybrid Force, targeted terrorist enclaves in the Lantari, Mojori, Bula Malo, and Baramari villages in Bama LGA. According to intelligence sources, the operation not only resulted in the elimination of two terrorists but also sent others fleeing from the area.

The troops’ success was underscored by the recovery of substantial quantities of ammunition. The haul included 11 rounds of 7.62mm x 51mm, 23 rounds of 7.62mm x 39mm ball (special), 3 rounds of 5.56mm x 45mm NATO, and 3 empty magazines.
