In compliance with the directive of
Chief of Army Staff, Major General
Tukur Yusuf Buratai, the Nigerian
troops have increased the tempo of
their offensive, leading to the killing
of many terrorists during a recent
combat operation along Dikwa-
Maiduguri Road in Borno State.
General Buratai while renaming the
counter-insurgency operation to
“Operaton Zaman Lafiya Dole,” had
urged the troops not to wait for Boko
Haram to attack but to take the battle
to the insurgents’ hideout.
PRNigeria gathered that through a
combined operation involving the
ground troops and airforce, the
Nigerian military mercilessly dealt
devastating blow on the terrorists
who could not escape during the
encounter.
Some of the items recovered from the
terrorists included vehicles heavily
laden with Improvised Explosives
Devices (IEDs), motorcycles, trucks
mounted with Anti-Aircraft Guns,
Anti-Aircraft Gun, General Purpose
Machine, Gunbox of Anti-Aircraft Gun
Ammunition and Rifles.
While reluctant to provide the exact
figure of casualty from the operation,
the spokesperson of the Nigerian
Army, Colonel Sani Usman Kukasheka
confirmed that recent military
operations against the terrorists had
been very successful as the terrorists
were on the run.
Colonel Kukasheka said that in one of
the recent operations, the military
attacked terrorists’ logistics base
where IED was planted with
connected wires traced to a kingpin’s
residence.
He said due to recent concerted
efforts, roads and towns hitherto
being held by Boko Haram terrorists
and laced with mines such as Biu-Buni
Yadi-Damaturu and Biu-Sabon Gari-
Damboa roads were liberated and
cleared of mines and made safe for
public usage.
