TROOPS CLEAR BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS OUT OF BIGGORO AND WARPAYA

Today, Saturday 16th April 2016, troops of 7
Division Strike Group Team B and 22 Task
Force Brigade conducted a simultaneous
dawn raid on suspected Boko Haram
terrorists hideouts at Biggoro, Warpaya and
Aura, North of Kumshe in Bama Local
Government Area.
The essence of the operation was stop the
reported criminal activities of remnants of
Boko Haram terrorists hiding in the three
villages. This became necessary as previous
efforts were futile. The suspected terrorists
kept coming in search for food, water and
shelter.
The surprised dawn attack yielded positive
result as the troops discovered well
concealed observation posts on trees in the
villages constructed by the terrorists to give
them early warning of troops movement or
approach.
In addition the troops found out that the
observation posts though tree tops, were
constructed in such a manner with chairs
and ropes to pull up foods and other needs
by the sentry without necessarily coming
down the trees.
To also save for the rainy day, the terrorists
had underground food storage facilities
where they stocked large quantity of
foodstuffs. The troops killed 2 Boko Haram
terrorists and also recovered 3 AK-47 rifles,
magazines and ammunitions. They also
recovered 2 motorcycles from them. In
addition they rescued 2 children from the
terrorists.
Thank you for your cooperation.
