...Rescues 195 people
The
Nigerian troops of 7 Division Garrison comprising 112 Battalion and
Armed Forces Special Forces yesterday carried out a joint clearance
patrol on suspected Boko Haram terrorists locations at Kwaptara,
Mijigete, Garin Boka, Mosole, Ngubdori, Ma’asa, Dukje and Gulumba in
Dikwa and Bama Local Government Areas of Borno State.
The
troops discovered Boko Haram terrorists camp, patent medicine outfit
and major market at Gulumba. Quite a number of Boko Haram terrorists
were killed and several items were recovered. This includes 2 logistic
trucks, 180 motorcycles, 750 bicycles and various perishable and
non-perishable items such as a 100 KVA Mikano generator and grinding
machine.
In addition, they also rescued 195
persons held hostage, recovered 300 cows, 200 sheep and 130 goats
rustled by the insurgents. The troops also recovered military items such
as camouflage uniforms as well as rifle magazines and grenades.
The
unprecedented feat was achieved through the renewed cooperation and
support of the public who provide timely information to the troops.
Consequently,
we would like to thank all those good citizens who provide the timely
information and enjoin all to see the fight against Boko Haram
terrorists as a collective responsibility to enable us clear the
remnants of the insurgents in the north east and other parts of the
country.
You are please requested to disseminate this information to the public through your medium.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman
Acting Director Army Public Relations
