Troops on cordon and search along Djimitillo
Damaturu road axis on Friday night had an
encounter with a group of terrorists after
their hideout was discovered by troops, the
defence headquarters has said.
The Director of Defence Information, Chris
Olukolade, a Major General, said the fierce
fight to dislodge the insurgents from their
hideout, near a market, resulted in the
capture of machine guns and rifles.
Some of the insurgents were killed, the
statement said.
“Some of the terrorists are believed to have
died in the fire that gutted the house where
they had made their base,” Mr. Olukolade
said. “A soldier was killed while another was
wounded and is undergoing treatment.”
In Gulak, Adamawa State, the defence
spokesperson said troops caught up with some
of them who were in the process of blowing
up a bridge to deter troops advance.
“The terrorists were not lucky as they died in
their encounter with troops,” Mr. Olukolade
said.
“The troops are continuing with the cordon
and search of the town and environs after
overpowering the terrorists.
“A lot of arms have been recovered in the
process. Troops are also dismantling the
terrorists group’s flags hoisted in the towns.”
