TROOPS CLEAR SEVEN MORE VILLAGES OF BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS

As the ongoing clearance and rescue
operations gained momentum, troops of
28 Task Force Brigade have successfully
cleared enclaves of Boko Haram terrorists
along Galtha Baba, Galtha Musa,
Bulakurma, Shatimari, Chukruk,
Bulangaje, and Disa villages.
During the operation, 1 Boko Haram
terrorist was captured alive and 3
motorcycles, bags of grains, their flags
and uniforms were recovered. Other
items include suicide bomber’s hijab,
mobile phone and 1 Dane gun, as well as
foodstuffs and cooking utensils.
The troops also rescued 15 persons that
were held hostages by the Boko Haram
terrorists in the area.
Unfortunately, two armoured fighting
vehicles (AFVs) entered an Improvised
Explosive Device (IED). However, the
formation did not sustain any human
casualty and the damage to the AFVs was
minimal.
The captured terrorist is being
interrogated and would soon be taken to
the relevant agencies for prosecution.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
