Brigadier General I.A. Ajosin, General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 8 Division, received the vehicles on behalf of the Chief of Defence Staff and expressed deep gratitude for the ongoing support to military operations in the region.

Following the handover, Dr. Matawalle received an operational briefing from the Air Component of Joint Operation Hadarin Daji, detailing recent successes in neutralizing key bandit leaders through coordinated air and ground strikes.
