At the early hours of today, Sunday 24th April 2016, troops of 81 Battalion and some elements of 251 Task Force Battalion, 25 Brigade, ambushed suspected Boko Haram terrorists escaping from Sambisa forest to Fulawani village.

The ambushed terrorists were trying to link up with other terrorists or members of their families to relocate to other places. It will be recalled that the troops intercepted a group of women and children yesterday who claimed to have escaped from the terrorists enclave in Sambisa forest.


However, during screening and interrogation, it was confirmed that they were the terrorists’ advance party relocating to a new safe haven following intense tactical operations by troops.

The troops sprang a surprise ambush on the group of escaping terrorists from Sambisa forest crossing towards Alagarno mounted on motorcycles and bicycles, killing 5 of them and recovering a number items. These include 5 motorcycles, 9 bicycles, 80 new pairs of bathroom slippers, assorted laundry items, polythene bags and mats. From all indication, the terrorists intended to link up with their wives and children earlier mentioned, who were obviously despatched to wait for them close to Fulawani for onward movement to other locations.

It is also assessed that the recovered items were for sale in other locations where remnants of the terrorists were hiding but in dire need of logistics. Further investigation also revealed that the terrorists were fleeing Sambisa forest to other areas for safety as they could no longer withstand the continued bombardment by both Nigerian Air Force and the ground troops.

Nice One... Nigerians are solidly behind you

No single weapon was found on them,not even catapult which means they wont be able to resist

arrest and questioning and yet they were killed and automatically labeled terrorrist based on only

profiling...speak of Animalistic behaviour.

No weapons?

Anywhere kill them all, the war against Boko Haram is no longer a war against Northern Nigeria.
I never believe Nigeria is a zoo but news like this offers me a second thought..

Stop reasoning like IMBECILES

The real IMBE is some one that's reasons without a second thought.

Ah ah OP do you want to kill wailers with high blood pressure?

some people won't be happy.

Still yet
Non of the bk nigros said were their so called hideout is !!

Or did they all end up dead or lost memories??!

All I see are bar soaps and slippers! Terrorist

They look like people trying to take advantage of the situation and some little trading, look like innocent people being shot at from a distance out of fear that they may be Boko Haram

Look at the dead men on the top left... looks like he was dancing alanta while he died.


Kudos to the Nigerian Army

These are traders. QED.

Nigerian Military savouring the joy of killing innocent people.

I hate BH but i don't support extra judicial killing

I still remember those (boko haram) are Jonathan brothers that should not be killed.

As long as kill them all as criminals is on, I support d naija military!
