Nigerian Troops Capture Boko Haram Hit List, Sketches Kill 27 Militants In Hildi, Balmo Forest

Back to winning ways, which they
lost in the fake cease fire agreement
sometimes ago, Nigerian troops have
captured documents containing a list
of communities about to be attacked
and sketches of the towns from fleeing
terrorists in Adamawa State.
In two separate operations spanning
Adamawa and Bauchi states, the
troops also killed 27 suspected
terrorists during fierce confrontations
in a bid to rid the areas of
insurgency.
During a hot pursue of the terrorists
around Hildi, Adamawa State, at least
seven of the terrorists lost their lives
while a total of five rifles, hundreds
of rounds of ammunition as well as
bows and arrows were captured from
them.
During another special raid operation
conducted on Balmo and Lame forests
linking Borno, Bauchi and Adamawa
states, the determined troops
recovered rifles and a number of
motorcycles after a stiff resistance by
terrorists was crushed.
Over 20 of them lost their lives while
some were reported wounded.
The Defence Spokesman, General
Chris Olukolade who confirmed the
incidents to PRNigeria said six soldiers
were wounded in the encounter.
At the end of the encounter, troops
eventually took firm control of the
forest location.
Meanwhile, the campaign against
terrorists’ activities is continuing
with air and land operations being
conducted in various theatres in parts
of the country.
