In their continuous efforts of clearing the remnants of Boko Haram in various hideouts and enclaves, troops of 7 Brigade, 8 Task Force Division, have cleared Boko Haram hideouts ahead of Gratte in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.
During the clearance operation, the troops killed 7 Boko Haram terrorists including a notorious kingpin popularly known as the Albani of Monguno.
The troops also recovered 2 Vehicles, 7 motorcycles 1 AK-47 rifle, 2 Boko Haram terrorists hoisted flags, 3 vehicle tyres, 1 vulcanizing machine, 1 solar panel and bundles of chewing stick (Aswaki), which the terrorists believed has spiritual and medicinal values.
in a related development, the Defence Headquarters has called on the general public particularly those in the North East that the fleeing remnant terrorists have laid land mines on stretches of farm lands.
DHQ believes that terrorists now operate with horses to carry out attacks on isolated villages and communities along fringes of our borders in the North East.
These latest tactics of the terrorists is a grand design to cause fear and panic among the farmers as well as the local populace.
