Troops of the Nigerian Army have killed 20 terrorists at Faljari, along the Dikwa-Maiduguri Road, the Army has said.
The Acting
Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, who made the comment
in an electronic mail on Sunday, said the troops also destroyed the
camps of the insurgents at Faljari village along Dikwa-Maiduguri road,
Borno State on Sunday.
He said Faljari was used by the insurgents as one of their logistic bases in the face-off with the troops.
According
to him, “Five vehicles heavily laden with Improvised Explosives Devices
about to be unleashed into the society, four motorcycles, one Toyota
Hilux mounted with Anti-Aircraft Guns, one Anti-Aircraft Gun and one
General Purpose Machine Gun, three extra Barrels of Anti-Aircraft Gun, a
box of Anti-Aircraft Gun Ammunition, 3 SIM cards and a damaged AK-47
Rifle” were recovered from the insurgents.
Usman said
the troops also destroyed five motorcycles decorated with terrorists’
flags and a Toyota Hilux vehicle mounted with Anti-Aircraft gun during
the raid.
He said the troops detonated and traced an IED with wires connected to the residence of a terrorist commander in the village.
The Army
Acting Spokesman said the insurgents had been occupying portions of
Gamboru Ngala, Kala Balge, Guzamala and Dikwa Local Government Area of
Borno State while the headquarters of Guijba Local Government of Yobe
State was long deserted.
He added
that the troops also cleared towns and roads that were held by the
terrorists and laced with mines such as Biu-Buni Yadi-Damaturu and
Biu-Sabon Gari-Damboa roads and made them safe for pubic usage.
He said that
the troops and indeed the Nigerian Army would not rest until every
portion of the Nigerian soil was liberated from the control of the
insurgents.
The military
had dislodged the terrorist from Dikwa during a combined operation
which involved the fighter pilots of the Nigerian Air Force and ground
forces on Friday morning.
