Military authorities report that troops from Operation HADIN KAI rescue 10 National Examinations Council (NECO) candidates and teachers following an attack by suspected Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) militants in Borno State. The incident is said to have occurred during the NECO exam period at a technical secondary school, where insurgents abduct candidates and staff. Reports state the attack takes place around 9:00 a.m. on Monday. According to the accounts, security forces recover 10 abducted people during the rescue operation. The military says the effort continues to locate and free any remaining abducted victims and to apprehend those responsible for the assault. Multiple outlets describe the abductors as ISWAP, reflecting a common attribution, though some phrasing uses “suspected” ISWAP-linked attackers. The reports also consistently refer to the presence of teachers among those abducted and subsequently rescued.
