Many fighters of the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) have been shot dead in an ongoing battle with the military.

The terrorists had invaded Askira town in Askira Uba Local Government Area of Borno State on Saturday morning.

A source had told Daily Trust that ISWAP fighters struck around 9am on Saturday.

Sadly, a Brigadier-General and some officers paid the ultimate price but both ground and air troops have been bombarding the terrorists.

In a statement on Saturday evening, Brigadier-General Onyema Nwachukwu, Army spokesman, confirmed that the battle was ongoing.

He said apart from killing the terrorists, troops had destroyed many of their gun trucks.


“Troops of Joint Task Force, North East Operation HADIN KAI, have neutralized several Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists during a recent encounter in Askira Uba Local Government Area of Borno State.”

“In the fierce encounter which is still raging as at the time of filling this report, troops supported by the Air Component of OPHK have destroyed five A – Jet, two A-29, two Dragon combat vehicles and nine Gun Trucks.

“Sadly, a gallant senior officer Brigadier General Dzarma Zirkusu and three soldiers paid the supreme sacrifice in a very rare display of gallantry as they provided reinforcement in a counter offensive against the terrorists, and successfully defended the location. The family of the senior officer and soldiers have been contacted.

“The Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya deeply commiserates with the families and relations of the fallen heroes. He has also directed that the troops continue in the ferrocious counter offensive and hot pursuit to eliminate the remnant of the fleeing terrorists.”

Ssshhhiiiiii!!! It wasn't bought to kill terrorists.

Until there are pictures to prove this report, I'm not buying anything from a source like daily trust.

Since Buhari and the defenders of his inept galaxy claimed that Boko Haram have been technically defeated, even when the aforementioned group were still causing havoc, I now take every news that comes from them with a pinch of salt.

So, pictures, or I don't believe it.

The army told Nigerians that they have acquire new jets to fight the Islamic terrorists group.Why have they not been deploy to combat zone?Are they reserving it for IPOB?

After they killed una generals una wan find audio victory

The reality is that Dem no dey tell blind man rain dey fall

When you are given bad news, do you ask for picture proof?

Negative mind reset required.

Ok

During my nysc days, i learnt that islamic religious studies were made compulsory for both art and science.
i suggest philosophy and logic should be introduced in secondary schools and made compulsory.
we need philosophical thoughts to help in neutralizing the religious indoctrination.
