The Nigerian Army, on Monday, announced that it has scored another decisive victory against Boko Haram insurgents in the North-Eastern region of the country.
The Army made this known through a statement signed by Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, Acting Director Army Public Relations.
The statement noted that the Nigerian troops successfully repelled an attack on their location by the insurgents, killing six of them and recovering several weapons.
“Troops of 121 Task Force Battalion, 26 Task Force Brigade, yesterday Sunday 13th June 2016, successfully repelled an attack on their location by suspected Boko Haram terrorists at Pulka.”
“The terrorists who came through Banki axis of Sambisa forest, attempted to inflict damage on our troops. But the vigilant soldiers rose to the occasion and dealt decisively with the terrorists by killing 6 of them.”
“They also recovered 1 Fabrique Nationale (FN) rifle with registration number 167229, two belts of 148 rounds of 7.62mm (NATO) ammunition and 1 FN rifle magazine loaded with 7.62mm ammunition (Special). The troops also blew up 3 Vehicles laden with Improvised Explosives Device (VBIEDs).”
“Unfortunately, 5 soldiers sustained various degrees of injuries during the attack. They have been moved to the unit’s Medical Reception Station for treatment.”
I suggest sensitive informatn on insurgency shld not be open to the public.It’s not wise.
