Troops have intensified efforts to clear the remnants of Boko Haram
terrorists in various parts of the north east through various military
operations on daily basis.
It is in line with this that troops of 7 Division Strike Group Team B
attached to 22 Brigade embarked on combination of foot and mobile
fighting patrols on daily basis to deny the Boko Haram terrorists
freedom of action in their area of operations.
On Thursday, 28th April 2016, they embarked on such efforts in the
general area of Bogoro, Duguno 1, Duguno 2 and 3. However, on reaching
Mbaraka, they encountered some elements of the Boko Haram terrorists who
engaged the patrol team in a gun battle.
The troops rose to the occasion and successfully cleared the
terrorists and proceeded to Jadda village which was suspected to be
strong hold of the Boko Haram terrorists.
As rightly believed, a large number of them were discovered to have the terrorists group’s flags hoisted in their domains.
The troops engaged the Boko Haram terrorists and killed 4 of them.
The patrol team also made another startling discovery, a big pit
where the Boko Haram terrorists used for dumping bodies of hapless
victims of their nefarious activities to decompose.
It was also discovered that the terrorists held lots of people as
hostage in Jadda. The fighting patrol team also succeeded in freeing
those held hostage and recovered an AK-47 rifle with registration number
OF-4814, 30 rounds of 7.62mm (Special) ammunition, 12 rounds of 7.62mm
(NATO) ammunition, 14 Dane Guns, 1 motorcycle, 2 Solar panels and food
storage facility. Other items include 120 litres of AGO and packs of
Panadol.
Sadly, one soldier suffered gunshot wound and was evacuated for
further medical treatment. He is reportedly in stable condition and
responding to treatment
