Troops of the 119 Task Force Battalion of the 7 Brigade of the Nigerian Army on Operation Lafiya Dole while on mop up and clearance patrol on Sunday came across graves of Boko Haram terrorists that escaped with gunshot wounds and died after an encounter on January 2017 and buried in shallow graves.
The troops recovered a 36 Hand Grenade and one 12.7 X 108mm round of ammunition concealed by the terrorists.
This was contained in a statement on Sunday by the spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Sani Usman.
Usman said the troops have continued their patrols by dominating the general area of Baga, Kangarwa and Dogonchikun, all in Borno State, with a view to intercepting fleeing Boko Haram terrorists.
