Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have successfully foiled an attempted attack by the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) terrorists on a facility housing some surrendered Boko Haram members in Damboa, Borno state.

The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, in Abuja.

He said that the ISWAP terrorists had resorted to attacks on surrendered Boko Haram members and their families in a desperate move to curtail the unprecedented depletion of its fighting force.

“This antic of terror within terror is being employed by ISWAP, to discourage intending surrendering terrorists in their ranks.

“The latest strategy is not unconnected with the frustration of the group, as top ranking commanders and members denounce violent agitation to embrace peace in recent times.

“This palpable apprehension might have led ISWAP on Saturday to embark on a mission to annihilate or capture Boko Haram terrorists, who had surrendered in Damboa,” he said.

Nwachukwu disclosed that the gallant troops of 25 Task Force Brigade engaged the terrorists with superior firepower, forcing them to withdraw in disarray and ensure that Damboa did not fall to their antics.

He said that the terrorists made futile attempts to access the facility housing the surrendered BHT members, but retreated when confronted with the superior firepower of the troops.

Meanwhile, the army authorities have reassured the good people of Damboa and environs to go about their normal businesses as vigilant troops would proactively continue to provide security of lives and property.

The Army spokesperson also enjoined the public to provide actionable and timely information on the activities of the criminal elements and their collaborators.

According to him, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya, has commended the troops for their doggedness and charged them to take the fight to the terrorists’ enclaves to deny them freedom of action.

He also reassured them of requisite support as they record more operational gains under Operation Hadin Kai.

God bless Nigeria Army!

Those referring to our soldiers as useless should pray to have a fierce encounter with them. Then you'll know that a truck load of soldiers is far more deadly than the state police HQ you see regularly.

Racoon:
Foolish and useless terrorists laden Army.Instead of allowing the murderous unrepentant BH terrorists to help themselves to a self annihilation match with their equally satanic repentant comrades, here it is playing the terrorists in uniform.Ara gbagbue unu.

Give me 300 men and sophisticated weapons from US & Russian military forces and watch how I will wipe out your fulani armies with a twinkling of an eye, you think fighting war is by numbers. If your armies are not useless they should go and fight war with another country to show their capabilities and military strength and stop creating rubbish war for themselves in the name of fighting ragtag Boko haram.

Deadly soldiers my foot.
