A large gathering of the Boko Haram terrorists have
been sighted in the Sambisa Forest, Borno State, with
troops of the Nigerian Army killing seven of them in
their latest encounter, while scores escaped with gunshot injuries.
The troops also recovered 11 gun trucks, 12 Hilux
vehicles, two double-barrelled rifles and 30 bicycles
abandoned by the fleeing terrorists.
The military said a workshop used by the insurgents
for making Improvised Explosive Device was also
sighted and destroyed.
According to the army, the joint operation with the
air force on Friday in the Sambisa area also left two
soldiers injured after the gun battle.
The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig Gen Sani
Usman, said residents of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe
states should be on the lookout for the fleeing Boko
Haram terrorists.
Usman noted that any suspected terrorist seen with
gun injuries should be reported at the nearest military
location or police station.
He said, “Troops of Operation Lafiya Dole involved in
Operation Deep Punch II dealt decisively with some
remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists hibernating in
the Sambisa Forest.”
