Nigerian Troops, Hunters Entrap Fleeing Terrorists in
Ambush
Two women and six Children were rescued on Monday, the 10th of
June 2019 from the Boko Haram Terrorists by troops of 121Battalion
in conjunction with hunters in an ambush operation against some
fleeing members of BHTs at Gwadala village in the North Eastern
part of Borno State.
During the operation contact was made with the criminals at
Gwadala village axis.
Own troops neutralised one of the terrorists, others escaped
with gunshot wounds and the following items were recovered:
1 AK 47 Rifle,
1 Dane Gun,
locally fabricated Ammo and Projectiles
The projections for ambushes, clearance operations and fighting
patrols are part of the efforts embarked upon by the dogged troops
of 7 Division Nigerian Army to consolidate on the gains and
successes recorded so far in the ongoing operation “Halaka Dodo” to
ensure the remnants of the BHTs are exterminated with the aim of
having a lasting peace and security in the North East.
The Acting General Officer Commanding 7 Division Nigerian Army
and Commander Sector 1 Operation Lafiya Dole, Brigadier General
Abdulmalik Bulama Biu applauded the gallant troops for their
doggedness and also conveyed the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant
General Tukur Yusufu Buratai commendation for the successes so far
achieved in the ongoing counter terrorism operations.
Members of the public within the Theatre are therefore urged to
cooperate with the Army and other security agencies by sharing
credible and timely information to troops in their efforts to
fighting terrorism and insurgency in Nigeria.
