The
Army said two of them were shot dead during the ambush.
Deputy
Director, Army Public Relations and 7 Division Spokesman, Lt. Col. Kingsley
Samuel confirmed the development.
He said the terrorists were ambushed by the Mobile Strike Teams of Operation
Lafiya Dole.
Samuel
said, “Our resolve to eliminate the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists
yielded another result, when troops successfully ambushed unsuspecting
terrorists attempting to cross into Sambisa Forest. We killed two of them,
while several others escaped with gunshot injuries. We also recovered two bags
of maize from the ambush site.
“The
MSTs particularly in Bama since their inauguration by the Chief of Army Staff,
Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, into the Theatre Command of Operation Lafiya Dole, have
been a potent deadly force engaging and neutralising the terrorists in several
areas.”
