Troops of 112 Task Force Battalion conducting clearance operation in
the general area of Zaza, Kajeri Maye, and Kajeri Mai Burem villages of
Mafa Local Government Area of Borno state have rescued two women that
were in Boko Haram captivity for a while.
Two members of the sect were killed in the crossfire that took place
in their hideout on Saturday January 19th. The terrorists who had
infiltrated Kajeri Maye village to unleash mayhem on the communities ran
out of luck, as the vigilant troops projected their clearance operation
to the village and fiercely engaged the terrorists in combat, killing
two of them.
The women have since handed them over to officials of Mafa Internally Displaced Persons Camp.
Items recovered from the sect members include one primed 36 Hand
Grenade, 2 Dane Guns,1 Locally fabricated short barrel gun, 2 Mobile
phones,1 Ak 47 rifle magazine,17 rounds of Anti Aircraft gun ammunition,
27 rounds of 7.62 mm special ammunition and 22 rounds of 7.62 mm NATO
