Troops of 22 Brigade Garrison and elements of 3 Battalion that went out on long range fighting patrol Monday 25th April, 2016, to Gima village in Ngala Local Government Area made a startling discovery; Boko Haram terrorists now have new means of identification.
According to a statement by Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, Acting Director Army Public Relations, the patrol came in contact with some elements of the Boko Haram that were escaping in disarray on sighting the team.
He said however, they were able to apprehend 2 terrorists in their new styled uniform of green colour and use of ropes on their legs and necks. This is a new development in the ongoing clearance operations of the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists in the North East.
In addition, the patrol team recovered 1 Isuzu Canter lorry which was found concealed with grasses, 5 motorcycles and 2 bags of guniea corn. Other items recovered include 3 Dane guns, a Solar panel, 3 bows and arrows.
The arrested terrorists are currently being interrogated to further assist in the clearance operations.
