The 7 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, on Saturday entered
and cleared Gudumbali town in Guzamala Local Government Area of Borno.

This is contained in a statement signed by Col. Sani
Usman, Acting Director, Army Public Relations.
He said the effort was part of the continued offensive
against the Boko Haram terrorists.
He added that during the operation, a number of
terrorists were killed and their weapons and equipment
destroyed.
Usman recalled that the Nigerian Air Force inflicted
severe damage on the terrorists’ camps within the
general area last Monday.
In related development, Usman said that troops of 5
Brigade Explosive Ordinance Devices (EOD) unit ran into
Landmines while advancing towards Dikwa.
He said the landmines were buried by the terrorists
between old Marte and Kerenoa junction in Marte Local
Government Area of Borno.
According to Usman, two soldiers lost their lives, while
two others sustained critical injuries from the landmine
explosion.
“The bodies of the two gallant soldiers have been
evacuated while the two wounded soldiers are already
receiving treatment at the military hospital,’’ he said.
Usman said the army also lost a Mowag Armoured
Personnel Carrier (APC) in the same location.
“Despite these sad events, the troops are not deterred as
they continue their advance and pursuit of the terrorists
to their enclaves in Sambisa forest.
“The troops in the various formations and units in
Operation LAFIYA DOLE are in very high spirits and more
determined to destroy the terrorists’ camps and enclaves,’’ he said.
