Boko
Haram Terrorists made a futile attempt on 120 Task Force Battalion
troops located at Goniri, Yobe State, but the Nigerian troops
successfully repelled the attacked and inflicted heavy casualty on the
invading terrorists as they were all killed. On the last count over 100
terrorists bodies were seen. However, 7 of our gallant soldiers paid the
supreme price defending our fatherland, while 1 officer and 8 soldiers
were wounded in action.
The
troops recovered size-able arms, ammunition and other equipment from
the terrorists,which include 1 General Purpose Machine Gun, 2 Rocket
Propelled Grenades, 9 AK-47 rifles and Belted rounds of 7.62 (NATO)
ammunition. Others were various wires used for Improvised Explosive
Devices (IEDs), 7 Primed IEDs, different types of Spanners and a Torch
Light.
In
a related development, troops of 21 Brigade on patrol from Bama to
Ngurosoye, destroyed the terrorists camps in the axis. Troops came
across some of the terrorists hideouts that also served as fabricating
area for IEDs and the terrorists’ training area. Another patrol along
Bama-Kawuri axis discovered and exhumed IEDs and wires for detonation.

Please
recall that a Boko Haram financier, fund raiser and stimulant supplier,
Mohammed Maina was arrested by troops of 21 Brigade. The arrested
