Nigerian Troops Achieve Significant Victories Against Boko Haram and Insurgents

In a bold and successful military operation, Nigerian Army troops, in collaboration with hybrid force elements, have dealt a major blow to Boko Haram (BHT)/ISWAP terrorists in the notorious Ukuba enclave within the Sambisa forest.

The operation, executed on Sunday, March 10, 2024, saw intense combat resulting in the neutralisation of 8 terrorists. The fierce engagement forced the terrorists to retreat, abandoning their camp in disarray. A subsequent search of the captured camp by the courageous troops led to the discovery of 5 locally fabricated double-barrel guns, 2 motorbikes, and assorted food supplies belonging to the terrorists.

Simultaneously, in a separate clearance operation in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State, troops successfully cleared Dan Birgima, Ungwan Noma, Katoge, and Pauwa Villages. During the operation, 2 insurgents were eliminated in combat, and the troops recovered 3 AK-47 Rifles, 8 Magazines, 57 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition, 3 Baofeng Radio sets, 12 Baofeng Radio Chargers, and one Bandolier. Notably, the troops rescued a civilian who had been held captive by the insurgents for several days. Additionally, two motorbikes and makeshift structures in the insurgents’ camp were destroyed.

Further advancing their success, troops cleared Dandalla, Madada, Dogon Karfe, Hayi, Gobirawan, and Kango Kuyambana villages in Gusau and Maru Local Government Areas of Zamfara state. During the encounter, two insurgents were neutralized, and the troops recovered one AK-47 rifle, 3 fabricated guns, 2 rounds of Anti-Aircraft ammunition, one motorbike, and 2 solar panels.

The Nigerian military continues its relentless efforts to ensure the safety and security of the nation, achieving significant victories against terrorist elements and insurgencies.
