The troops of 21 armored Brigade, Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), have killed three Boko Haram fighters in Bama LGA of Borno state.
According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert focused on the Lake Chad region, the Boko Haram fighters were killed during a patrol in the state.
“The terrorists were naturalized in Churchur village during a fighting patrol by the troops of 202 Battalion in conjunction with Hybrid forces. The troops also recovered 2 dane guns,” Makama said.
“Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that in a separate Operation in conjunction with Civilian Joint Task Force and HYBRID forces, the troops conducted clearance to T Angwan Jingina and Bula Marwa on March 30, 2024.
“The troops successfully rescued 9 persons comprising 3 adult females and 6 children. The troops equally destroyed the hamlets in the camps of Boko Haram while the terrorists fled.”
The development comes days after troops killed three suspected terrorists during a raid on the hideouts of Boko Haram insurgents and fighters of the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) in Borno and Katsina states.
