Nigerian Troops of the Joint Task Force North East Operation, Hadin Kai (OPHK) deployed alongside Cameroonian Defence Force have exterminated four Boko Haram terrorists at the Forward Operating Base (FOB) Wulgo, Borno State.
In a statement issued by the Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, the vigilant troops successfully foiled an attempted infiltration of the terrorist group into the camp, while on a patrol to dominate their area of responsibility.
“The troops swiftly responded with an overwhelming volume of fire and spontaneous reinforcement from the Battalion Headquarters, compelling the terrorists to retreat.
“Troops immediately carried out a hot pursuit and exploitation after the encounter, along the terrorists’ route of withdrawal and neutralised three terrorists, recovered three AK 47 rifles, six magazines and 50 rounds of 7.62mm special.”
In another development, four terrorists have met their waterloo same date, around the 151 Battalion location.
The terrorists were burnt beyond recognition, as their Gun truck mounted with Anti Aircraft Guns ran over Vehicle Improvised Explosive Devices; “Own troops are currently conducting further exploitation ahead of the location to clear any surviving terrorist.”
The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya has commended the efforts of the troops and charged them to remain aggressive and focused, as they dominate their areas of operational responsibility, in order to ensure complete extermination of the terrorists and restoration of normalcy.
