Troops of 3 Battalion, 22 Brigade Nigerian Army, Sector 1, Operation LAFIYA DOLE in furtherance of the ongoing clearance operations in conjunction with 22 Mobile Strike Team and some Civilian JTF on Tuesday were able to clear Boko Haram terrorists from their hideouts in Kala, Jawara, Mada, Mika, Gakulba and Kutilax (Sanga) in the northern fringes of Sambisa forest and fringes of Kala Balge Local Government Area of Borno State.
At Sanga, the terrorists on sighting the approaching troops from their observation post, dashed into the adjoining Amchada forest.
The relentless troops pursued them further and neutralized four Boko Haram terrorists after serious exchange of gun fire.
The troops also captured one of the terrorists commanders, the Ameer of Chawa, Amman Judee, alive and rescued 212 persons held hostage by the terrorists.
The captured terrorists leader is undergoing further interrogation, while the rescued persons are being documented and the underaged children were administered oral polio vaccines.
