In continuation of their clearance operations of remnants of Boko Haram terrorists in the North East, troops of 212 Tank Battalion, 29 Task Force Brigade on Wednesday morning laid ambush on some Boko Haram terrorists at a major cattle market in Gwai Mainari around Mainok general area of Borno State.
The ambush party, supported by a Quick Response Group, captured a Hilux vehicle containing eight jerry cans of petroleum, oil and lubricants, large quantity of 7.62mm ammunitions, 127mm ammunitions and four AK-47 rifles, as well as five hand grenades.
Some of the terrorists were reported killed, while others escaped with gunshot wounds.
The Nigerian Army in a statement on Wednesday by its spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman, said more operational strategies are being employed to further flush out the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists wherever they might be hiding in the North East.
