Troops of “Operation TURA TAKAIBANGO” in conjunction with the Air Task Force Operation LAFIYA DOLE have effectively destroyed 7 Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists’ gun trucks and decimated several unconfirmed numbers of the terrorists when they attempted to attack their location on the outskirts of Marte in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State.
Confirming the report, Acting Director, Defence Media Operations, Defence Headquarters, Brigadier General Bernard Onyeuko said the “gallant” troops, based on reliable information about the attack, had positioned themselves in an ambush site where they tactically withdrew to, and awaited the arrival of the terrorists before they opened fire which led to fierce battle that resulted in the successes recorded as indicated above.
He added that the troops were still engaged in pursuit of the fleeing terrorists for further exploitation.
Onyeuko said further details of interest to members of the public would be communicated later.
