Col. Aliyu Paiko, the Commanding Officer of the 202 Tank Battalion, has paid the supreme price alongside several soldiers in an attack by Boko Haram insurgents.<\/p>\n<p>The attack took place in the Kashimri area of Bama, Borno State. <\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, according to Lt. Col. Appolonia Anele, the Acting Director of Army Public Relations, who confirmed the incident on Monday in a statement, the troops of Operation Hadin Kai successfully repelled the terrorists\u2019 plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTroops of Joint Task Force Operation HADIN KAI under the 21 Special Armoured Brigade on 17 October 2025 successfully foiled an attack planned by Boko Haram terrorists around the Kashimri general area of Bama Local Government Area, Borno State,&#8221; the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, the encounter took its toll on our side, as the Commanding Officer, 202 Tank Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Aliyu Saidu Paiko, and a few other valiant soldiers paid the supreme price as they fell in battle.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Anele added that the troops located and destroyed several Boko Haram camps in the area, frustrating the insurgents\u2019 plans to attack civilians and disrupt socio-economic activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the operation, the troops engaged the terrorists in a fierce gunfight, neutralised several, while others fled with injuries,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Anele described the slain soldiers as heroes who fought for the peace and stability of the country, assuring that their legacies would not be forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Nigerian Army will continue to honour the weight of their sacrifices. Their loss reminds us of our unyielding resolve to stamp out the scourge of terrorism from our great nation,\u201d the statement further read.<\/p>\n<p>It added that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, extended his condolences to the families of the deceased, describing them as \u201cfathers, brothers, and sons who showed immeasurable courage in the face of adversity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By James Kindly share: Lt.
