UPDATE ON OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE: TROOPS RESCUE 53 MORE PERSONS KILL 2 TERRORISTS AND ARREST ONE
The Nigerian Army troops deployed in
Operation LAFIYA DOLE clearing the
remnants of Boko Haram terrorists have
been busy performing their assigned
tasks with varying degrees of satisfactory
accomplishments.
It is in this regards that the troops of 114
Task Force Battalion of 28 Task Force
Brigade, embarked on aggressive patrol
to dominate and secure the road linking
Izge and Bitta. During the operation, the
patrol came across 43 persons that
escaped from one of the Boko Haram
terrorists hideouts in Madube. The
escapees comprised of 10 men, 14
women and 19 children. They are
currently being screened and profiled at
the Battalion Headquarters.
Similarly, troops of 115 Task Force
Battalion of the same Brigade, in
conjunction with some vigilante groups
carried out patrols to Pegana, Joma,
Wambiyar, Dille, Pumpum, Zah, Miya and
Pugula communities and cleared them of
Boko Haram terrorists.
Yesterday, some elements of the Nigerian
Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC),
arrested and handed over a suspected
Boko Haram terrorist, named Garba
Thlama Mussa to the unit. He is currently
being interrogated and would be handed
over to Joint Intelligent Committee.
The troops of 117 Battalion also carried
out patrols within Mubi North and Mubi
South to ensure general security of the
areas. The same unit also provided
security to Adamawa State boundaries
adjustment committee during their visit
to Kwaja village in Mubi Local
Government Area of Adamawa State.
Troops of 143 Battalion also carried out
patrol in Bebel, Fattude, Teddei,
Hyambula and Sukur.
We are pleased to state that the troops in
that axis are in high spirit determined to
continue doing the nation proud.
The story is the same in 22 Brigade area
of operations as troops of 3 Battalion also
conducted foot and mobile patrols
towards Diema, Tatakura and Kala villages
during which they had contact with Boko
Haram terrorists, killed 2 of them and
recovered some dangerous weapons.
Similarly, troops of 22 Brigade Garrison in
conjunction with a detachment of Nigeria
Custom Services personnel conducted
patrol along Dikwa-Mafa-Maiduguri road
to keep it safe.
As the security situation keeps improving
in the North East especially in the
liberated and cleared areas, other
security and Para-military agencies have
started redeploying back to their
locations. It was to this end that the
Nigerian Immigration Service has also
deployed its personnel in Dikwa.
The 21 personnel were received and
briefed at the Headquarters of 22 Brigade
Garrison. The team is undergoing training
on mines and Improvised Explosive
Devices (IEDs) awareness and ground
signs before they commence work.
In a related development, the troops of
22 Brigade Garrison, intercepted 14
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) which
include 3 men, 3 women, 6 male children
and 2 female children coming to Dikwa
from Chingowa village. The IDPs were
screened by the troops and the Civilian
JTF at the area and then handed over to
Dikwa IDP Coordinator for further
screening, registration and rehabilitation.
Sadly, an administrative patrol was
ambushed 12 kilometres to Gwoza.
Unfortunately 3 soldiers and 13 civilians
were wounded. All of the wounded have
been evacuated to 21 Brigade Medical
Reception Station. They are all in stable
condition and responding to treatment.
Thank you for your kind and usual
cooperation.
