Soldiers of the Nigerian Army have killed 22
Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.
The troops also rescued 520 prisoners of the sect from Kusumma Village in the
state on Tuesday, March 22, 2016.
This was disclosed via a statement released by army spokesman, Colonel Sani
Usman. It reads in part:
“The gallant troops cleared the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists hibernating
in Kala Balge general area.”
“The triumphant troops apart from killing 22 terrorists cleared pockets of the
terrorists in Wumbi, Tunish, Tilem and Malawaji. Others are Makaudari, Daima,
Buduli, Sadigumo, Jiwe, Sidigeri and Kala villages. The troops also rescued 309
persons held captives by the terrorists.”
“They also discovered and destroyed the terrorists training camp, factory, locally
made weapons and warehouse at Tilem and then secured Rann, the headquarters
of Kala Balge Local Government Area.”
“In a related development, troops of 3 Battalion with the support of Civilian
JTF also conducted a fighting patrol at Kusumma village in which they killed 3
Boko Haram terrorists and captured one alive.”
“They also rescued 520 persons held hostage by the terrorists and recovered 1
motorcycle, weapons and axes. The troops, basking in the unprecedented
achievement, are also making efforts to clear remnants of the terrorists in the
surrounding areas.”
Meanwhile, Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau has resurfaced in a
new video in which he seems to be urging his followers to surrender and give up
the fight.
