Troops foil ISWAP attack on Monguno school, some students killed in gunfire

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI, in collaboration with personnel of the Nigeria Police Mobile Force, have foiled an attempted mass abduction by ISWAP terrorists at the Federal Government Girls College, FGGC, Monguno.

According to a statement on Sunday issued by acting military information officer of Joint Task Force, Operation Hadin Kai, OPHK, Captain Mohammed Goni, the attack occurred at about 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, 19 July 2026.

The FGGC facility is currently being used by the Borno State Government as temporary hostel accommodation for students of the Federal Polytechnic, Monguno.

The statement said the terrorists gained access to the facility with the assistance of suspected collaborators in an attempt to abduct students.

Alert security personnel immediately engaged them with coordinated firepower, while the Sector 3 Quick Reaction Force moved in to reinforce the school.

Confronted by the superior combat capability of the security forces, the terrorists abandoned their mission and fled without achieving their objective.

Capt. Goni said parts of the school infrastructure sustained damage during the encounter.

Following the operation, troops rescued and evacuated all 46 students to Kinnasara Barracks, Monguno, where they received immediate medical assessment.

He added that all rescued students have been confirmed medically stable and no student was abducted.

Regrettably, the statement added that some students were fatally struck by sporadic gunfire from the terrorists during the firefight.

In the statement, OPHK extended condolences to the families of the deceased and assured the public that measures are being taken to safeguard residents and protect critical institutions across the North East in liaison with the Borno State Government.

The statement said exploitation of the incident is ongoing to identify and apprehend suspected collaborators, while troops are actively tracking the fleeing terrorists.

OPHK reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining pressure on terrorist elements and ensuring that educational institutions and other critical infrastructure in the North East remain safe and secure.
