Nigerian Troops Dislodge Terrorists, Recover Gun Trucks
in Villages

Troops of 122 Task Force Battalion deployed in the Forward
Operation Base at Ngwom Community in Borno State have effectively
destroyed some Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) when they (troops) had
a fierce encounter with the terrorists fighting in 4 gun trucks at
about 2230hrs on Wednesday, the 6th of March, 2019.

The bandits (BHTs), had in the recent past, attempted to attack
the same troops’ location but phyrrically receded because of stiff
resistance and aggressive pursuit from the indefatigable and
patriotic troops on a noble military expedition.

In the encounter, tremendous success was achieved, – troops
captured the following;

a. 2 Gun trucks mounted with Anti Aircraft Guns
b. 2 Rocket Propelled Grenade Tubes
c. 5 AK 47 rifles

Additionally, 5 BHTs were forcefully sent to “permanent sleep”.
Several others evidently escaped with gunshot wounds.

Similarly, on the same day, at about 2300 hours, troops deployed
at Gulak responded to a distress call from Kubu village in Shani
Local Government Area of Borno State on the nefarious activities of
terrorists – criminals operating in the village.

On getting close to the area, the bandits engaged the troops
with sporadic firing. In the process, the following incidences were
recorded;

A BHT was deleted and 1 AK 47 rifle was recovered. No lost of
life or casualty on the part of the Nigerian Army.

The Acting General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 Division Nigerian
Army and Commander Sector 1, Operation Lafiya Dole, Brigadier
General Abdulmalik Bulama Biu commended the troops and conveyed the
Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai’s
commendation and continued support in the war against terrorism and
insurgency. He urged them to maintain the momentum at all
times.
