From Dauda R PamMaiduguri

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) in the north east in conjunction with the Cameroonian Defence Force, on October 18,2021 exterminated four terrorists of Islamic state of West Africa/ Bokoharam terrorists, ISWAP/BHTs at the Forward Operating Base (FOB) at Wulgo, Borno state.

This was contained in a  statement by the Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General, Onyeama Nwachukwu, said the troops successfully foiled an attempted infiltration of the terrorists group into the camp, while on a patrol to dominate their area of responsibility.

According to the DAPR the troops swiftly responded with overwhelming volume of fire and spontaneous reinforcement from the battalion headquarters, compelling the terrorists to retreat.

According to him, “Troops immediately carried out a hot pursuit and exploitation after the encounter, along the terrorists’ route of withdrawal and neutralised three BHTs and recovered three AK 47 rifles, six magazines and 50 rounds of 7.62mm special.

Equally, four ISWAP/BHTs terrorists met their waterloo  around the  151 Battalion location in which the terrorists were burnt beyond recognition, as their Gun truck mounted with Anti Aircraft Guns ran over Vehicle Improvised Explosive Device. 

“Own troops are currently conducting further exploitation ahead of the location to clear any surviving terrorist”, the statement said.

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya, elated with their performance, has commended the efforts of the troops and charged them to remain aggressive and focused, as they dominate their areas of operational responsibility, in order to ensure complete extermination of the terrorists and restore normalcy.
