15 BokoHaram Terrorists Killed In A Fight Against JTF
An attempt by Boko Haram fighters to invade Rann, a small community in Borno State yesterday ended in a tragedy for the terror sect.
At least 15 of them were killed in a dawn attack on a contingent of soldiers from 3 Battalion and 112 Task Force Battalion stationed in the area.
The troops overpowered the invaders killing 15 on the spot,while the rest took to their heels.
The terrorists are believed to be among those recently dislodged from Sambissa Forest Military sources said yesterday that the shootout lasted several hours.
Four soldiers were wounded but were
subsequently evacuated by a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Augusta Helicopter, a recent addition to the NAF’s fleet from the Presidential Air Fleet (PAF) to Maiduguri,the state capital.
The attack came a week after President
Muhammadu Buhari said Boko Haram fighters had been routed from the forest which had served as their operational base for several years.
A military source in the NAF said: “four
wounded soldiers were today evacuated from the battle front in Rann to Maiduguri for medical treatment.”
The wounded soldiers were given first aid treatment aboard the helicopter on the way to Maiduguri by the Air Force personnel.
