Jakana: Special Force Eliminates 11 Boko Haram Fighters,
Nab 6 Terrorist Commanders
In a commando-style, gallant troops deployed have killed 11 Boko
Haram (BH) insurgents, together with their informants.
PRNigeria gathered that the troops, who first disguised
themselves, successfully laid an ambush along a road in Jakana axis
of Borno State, before gunning down the terrorists.
An intelligence source told PRNigeria that the killed Boko Haram
fighters were fleeing after they had attacked some military
personnel on patrol duty.
“Unfortunately, the insurgents who were eliminated by the
Nigerian troops had killed six soldiers before they met their
Waterloo.
“The intelligence service has already identified some
communities suspected to be harbouring terrorists and their agents
but the military is wary of collateral damage on the communities
because of women and children, that is why they are still yet to
attack and raid the terrorists’ hideouts.”
PRNigeria gathered that some of the communities allegedly
aiding, supporting and offering help to the extremists include
Matari, Mada, Burgozo, Duwari, and Didiri.
The Nigerian troops have nabbed six high-profile Boko Haram
commanders for frequently ambushing and coordinating attacks on
troops within Auno, Jakana and Banishaik general area.
The General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 Division of NA,
Maiduguri, Major General Abdulmalik Bulama Biu, also confirmed
recent development to PRNigeria, saying that “the vigilant troops
effectively ambushed and eliminated the insurgents who killed two
officers and three soldiers, at Burgozo community in Borno
State.
“After a gun battle that lasted 20 minute, the fleeing
terrorists were overwhelmed by the superior firepower of the
gallant troops of Operation Lafiya Dole,” he said.
The Army Major General, said while some of the terrorists were
killed, the rest of them who were fleeing sustained serious
wounds.
He noted that troops have commenced mopping-up, combing of the
general area while some arrests had been made.
The GOC, also listed the items recovered from the insurgents to
include one gun trucks, two anti-aircraft guns, one RPG, five Ak 47
riffle and night vision google.
