In a military raid on the enclaves of Boko Haram in the fringes of Sambisa Forest, 18 terrorists have been killed in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.
With credible intelligence from the newly established camp, troops swooped on where the insurgents coordinated operations in the Sheutari and Mutari general area.
The troop of 21 Task Force Brigade Bama in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force(CJTF) on Tuesday conducted precise clearance into the Garin Ba’aba enclave which led to the elimination of nearly a score of insurgents.
“Our troops dislodged and killed many insurgents, their camp was completely outrun by gallant troops and Civilian JFT in Samabisa Forest,” a security source said.
A security expert in Lake Chad, Zagazola Makama, revealed that the troops successfully overran the terrorists.
“During the operation, the gallant troops neutralized 18 terrorists,” he said, adding that property and makeshift tents belonging to the terrorists were destroyed.
Hundreds of insurgents have been killed at Sheutari and Mutari general areas recently due to infighting between the two warring outlawed groups.
