The
Nigeria Army says it has killed 14 Boko Haram insurgents and captured two
others around Chirokusko Village in Tarmuwa Local Government Area in Yobe.
Brig.-Gen. Mohammed Aliyu, General Commanding Officer (GCO), told newsmen in
Damaturu on Monday that 16 assorted weapons and ammunitions had also been
recovered from the insurgents. Aliyu said the terrorists sneaked into the area
and were about settling down when the army ambushed them following a tip-off
from patriotic citizens. He commended the host communities for their
cooperation which included providing security operatives with useful
information. According to him, more troops have been deployed to the area to
enhance manpower to consolidate the gains recorded in the fight against
insurgency. “The Damaturu-BuniYadi-Biu road will soon be opened to motorists
for economic activities to resume in the liberated areas.’’
