The 29 Brigade Quick Reaction Force (QRF), in conjunction with Civilian
JTF carried out an ambush against Boko Haram terrorists east of Marguba
village in Kaga Local Government Area, Borno State yesterday Friday. The
troops killed 2 of the Boko Haram terrorists, while some of them
sustained gun shot wounds as could be seen from traces of blood during
mopping up.
They also recovered 1 AK-47 rifle with 29 rounds of
7.62mm (Special) ammunition, a bow and arrows, a Tecno mobile telephone
handset, 1 wallet and an Identity Card of Animal Dealers Association,
amongst other items.
In a related development, troops along with Civilian JTF have continued
clearance operations within Sambisa forest despite harsh climatic
conditions and bad terrain occasioned by heavy down rainfalls especially
within Gombale area. Despite bugging down of vehicles and equipment
because of the bad terrain, the troops have continued with their
clearance operations.
