In compliance with the military high command’s directive
which is to ensure that all villages and towns are cleared of remnants
of Boko Haram terrorists, troops of 22 Brigade Garrison in Operation
LAFIYA DOLE.
on Sunday 1st May 2016 cleared 4 villages of Boko Haram terrorists
hiding in the area. The terrorists hibernating in Cinga, Mallum Maja,
Bosuma and Murye villages, were armed with dangerous weapons and have
been terrorizing the communities. During the operations 3 Boko Haram
terrorists were killed, while 9 of them who tried hiding in foxholes and
dug outs were identified and captured alive.
Items recovered from them include 9 Dane guns, 3 machetes, 1 bow with
arrows, 6 motor cycles used by the Boko Haram terrorists to ferry
slaughtered cow meats to Boko Haram terrorists hideouts were recovered
and burnt. Other items recovered include 1 tricycle, 4 x Tiger
Generators and 1 solar panel.
The troops also recovered 300 herds of cattle rustled by the Boko
Haram terrorists from Fulani herdsmen and handed over to their rightful
owners. Similarly, 400 persons held hostage by the terrorists were
rescued and set free. It is gratifying to state that we have not sustain
any casualty to own troops and equipment and troops morale remain very
high.
Kudos to the army!
