Counter-Insurgency Operations
Troops of Sector 3, Operation LAFIYA DOLE attached to Super Camp
Monguno on Friday 30th August 2019 while on patrol dealt a
devastating blow on Boko Haram terrorists along
Monguno-Mairari-Gajiram axis.
The patrol team came in contact with the terrorists and engaged
them with heavy volume of fire that neutralized countless number
while a few escaped with gun shot wounds going by blood trails in
the general area.
The gallant troops also recovered some weapons and equipment
from the terrorists.
Sadly, during the encounter 3 of our gallant soldiers paid the
supreme price while 8 other soldiers sustained injuries.
The bodies of the fallen heroes and those that sustained
injuries have since been evacuated.
The wounded are being treated and are in stable condition. The
highly motivated troops have continued combing the general area
with a view to clear remnants of hiding terrorists.

some Principal Staff Officers from the Army Headquarters, Theatre
