The Boko Haram terrorists killed by soldiers
Troops of 81 Division Task Force Battalion deployed in Operation
Lafiya Dole to conduct Counter terrorism and Counter insurgency
operations in North Eastern Nigeria yesterday,
Tuesday 28 August 2018, killed three Boko Haram insurgents in a
failed ambush staged by the insurgents along Gulumba Gana – Masa – Dikwa
road in Dikwa Local Government Area of Borno state.
Shortly before the ambush, the troops who were on a fighting patrol
had uncovered two Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) buried in the
ground along the road by the terrorists. While the troops carried out
counter IED actions to disarm the explosives, the insurgents sprang the
ambush but met with fierce resistance by the troops, who swiftly
countered the ambush, killing 3 of the insurgents, while others fled
with gunshot wounds.
The troops also captured two AK 47 rifles, one Light Machine Gun and an empty magazine from the terrorists.
