Today,
troops of 7 Division Garrison, 112 Battalion and Army Headquarters
Strike Group, recorded tremendous success in a clearance operations
against Boko Haram terrorists at Kotokuma, Dikwa Local Government Area.
The troops cleared the terrorists camp which was equipped with medical
facility, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) factory, fuel dump,

The
gallant troops also destroyed 3 vehicles laden with IEDs meant for
suicide bombings somewhere and killed 37 Boko Haram terrorists.
The
troops also recovered 12 vehicles, 27 motorcycles, 9 AK-47 rifles, 2
Fabrique Nationale rifles, fabricated rocket bomb and a Sniper rifle.

Unfortunately, 2 of
our soldiers sustained gun shot wounds. The wounded soldiers have been

We wish to state here that buoyed with this unprecedented success, the troops morale is very high.
We
would like to assure the public that the troops would continue to do
their best to clear all the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists wherever
