discover pit where Boko Haram dumps bodies of their victims to decompose

A statement by the Acting Director Army Public
Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman:
Troops have intensified efforts to clear
the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists in
various parts of the north east through
various military operations on daily basis.
It is in line with this that troops of 7
Division Strike Group Team B attached to
22 Brigade embarked on combination of
foot and mobile fighting patrols on daily
basis to deny the Boko Haram terrorists
freedom of action in their area of
operations.
Yesterday Thursday, 28th April 2016, they
embarked on such efforts in the general area of
Bogoro, Duguno 1, Duguno 2 and 3. However, on
reaching Mbaraka, they encountered some
elements of the Boko Haram terrorists who
engaged the patrol team in a gun battle.
The troops rose to the occasion and
successfully cleared the terrorists and proceeded
to Jadda village which was suspected to be
strong hold of the Boko Haram terrorists. As
rightly believed, a large number of them were
discovered to have the terrorists group’s flags
hoisted in their domains.
The troops engaged the Boko Haram terrorists
and killed 4 of them. The patrol team also made
another startling discovery, a big pit where the
Boko Haram terrorists used for dumping bodies
of hapless victims of their nefarious activities to
decompose.
It was also discovered that the terrorists held
lots of people as hostage in Jadda. The fighting
patrol team also succeeded in freeing those held
hostage and recovered an AK-47 rifle with
registration number OF-4814, 30 rounds of
7.62mm (Special) ammunition, 12 rounds of
7.62mm (NATO) ammunition, 14 Dane Guns, 1
motorcycle, 2 Solar panels and food storage
facility. Other items include 120 litres of AGO
and packs of Panadol.
Sadly, one of our soldiers suffered gunshot
wound and was evacuated for further medical
treatment. We are glad to state that he is in
stable condition and responding to treatment.
