Nigerian troops are currently conducting aggressive patrols in and around Garkida in Adamawa State after clearing the town of terrorists on Wednesday.
A highly coordinated Nigerian Air Force operation is backing the troop’s movement and operations in the mission area.
Similar air and land patrols along with mop up operations are being conducted in places such as Gombi, Pella, Hong, Fachi and Duma localities, where terrorists have been dislodged as troops continue to advance in their pursuit.
Meanwhile more heavy weapons such as Anti-Aircraft Guns, General Purpose Machine Guns, IED materials, Rocket Propelled Launchers as well as rifles and items like vehicles and motorcycles are being recovered from the fleeing terrorists.
The content of other items such as projectors, DVD players, laptop computers, mobile phone handsets, memory cards and flash drives recovered from the terrorists are presently being analysed for vital information.
The morale of troops is reported to be high as they continue on the offensive.
The bodies of two soldiers who died in one of the encounters have been recovered, while the five wounded, including a Brigade Commander, are presently receiving treatment.
