TROOPS CLEARED MORE BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS CAMPS AND RESCUES ABDUCTEES
Troops of 28 Task Force Brigade Nigerian Army deployed at Bitta and Pridang carried
out a successful raid on suspected Boko Haram terrorists camps at Bulajilin and
Manawashe villages along Bita and Damboa road at the fringes of Sambisa forest on
Tuesday. The troops were able to killed 30 Boko Haram terrorists.
The unit also rescued 338 persons that were held captive by the terrorists in the
enclaves. The rescued persons which comprised of male 8, female 138 and children 192,
have since been evacuated to Mubi. Troops also recovered arms and ammunitions during
the raid operation which include 1 General Purpose Machine Gun and 2 Dane Guns, 150
rounds of 7.62mm (NATO), 6 boxes of 7.62mm (NATO) and 3 cutlasses.
In a related development, troops based on a tip off, ambushed and killed 4 suspected
Boko Haram terrorists on a suicide bombing mission to Gubula, Madagali Local
Government Area, Adamawa State. Apart from 2 AK-47 rifles recovered, the troops also
recovered some Unexploded Ordinances (UXOs), mortar bombs and cash sum of
N153,385k was retrieved.
It is worthy to note that the raid operation on the Boko Haram Terrorists enclave
coincided with the Chief of Army Staff’s operational visit to the Brigade Headquarters in
Mubi.
The successful clearance operations and ambushing of the terrorists has further
degraded them and saved the lives of so many innocent victims of their suicide
bombings.
Therefore, we are appealing for continued vigilance, security consciousness and above
all cooperation with the military and security agencies to enable us successfully defeat
the terrorists.
