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 number of the terrorists in their attempt to attack their location at the outskirts of Marte in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State.
This was stated today in a press release by the Acting Director, Defence Media Operations, Brig. Gen. Bernard Onyeuko, who intimated that 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.
The statement reveals that while the troops are still engaged in pursuit of the fleeing terrorists for further exploitation, further details of interest to members of the public will be communicated later.
