– Troops say they were attacked inside Sambisa forest
by the terrorists
– Army spokesperson informs that wounded soldiers
have since been evacuated
– Affirms that morale of the soldiers remain high after
the challenge
At least five soldiers have been wounded in action
following an attack by Boko haram terrorists on
Saturday, May 14.
NAIJ.com gathered that although the troops repelled the
attack, about five of their men had sustained various
degrees of injuries by the terror group.
Some of the ammunition recovered from the terrorists
during the attack.
A statement issued by Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman,
the military spokesperson reads: “Troops of 21 Brigade
and rugged team of Armed Forces Special Forces (AFSF)
on Operation CRACKDOWN inside Sambisa forest while on
harbour for refitting, came under Boko Haram terrorists
attack at about 1.45am today morning.
“However, the gallant troops successfully repelled the
attack. They further followed up with mopping up
operations of the general area before advancing. They also
recovered 2 corpses of the attackers and the following
items; 2 AK-47 rifles, 2 Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG)
bombs, 5 rifle magazines, mortar bombs and a belts of
Machine Gun rounds.
Another set of ammunition recovered by the Nigerian
troops.
“Unfortunately 5 soldiers were wounded in action (WIA), as
a result of mortar fired into the harbour area by the Boko
Haram terrorists. The wounded soldiers have been
evacuated to the rear for treatment.
“Despite this incident, the morale of the gallant troops
remains very high as they are determined to successfully
clear Boko Haram terrorists.”
This report comes after the Nigerian army said it has
arrested a top Boko Haram leader during a recent raid.
Sulaiman Umaru, the arrested leader of the Islamist
sect, is among the pictures on the poster containing the
photographs of 100 Boko Haram terrorists declared
wanted.
He has since been moved to 28 task force brigade
headquarters for further investigation. |
