The battle against insurgency recorded another success yesterday as military forces apprehended insurgents attempting to flee to Cameroon while killing 11 others.
The Director, Defence Information,Maj.-Gen. Chris Olukolade,disclosed this in a statement yesterday which said the insurgents were attacked by troops on patrol.
According to him, "the terrorists were trapped following the ongoing offensive launched by troops along the borders. Some of them could no longer bear the hunger in their make-shift camps at the forest. Those apprehended led the troops to some hideouts where fierce fighting ensued and seven terrorists died, while Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs, rifles and 70 motorcycles were recovered."
According to the director "a similar encounter in Gumbi also led to the death of four other terrorists."
Indeed,the military is doing a great job.
