It is becoming evident that the deadly Boko Haram sect is
also lead by foreigners who want to destroy our dead
country, Nigeria. Below is a statement from Major
General Chris Olukolade:
Thousands of foreign currency was found on the body of a
terrorist commander after troops successfully repelled another
deadly terrorist attack on Mafa.
The terrorist who is also an
Amir by status and believed to be of foreign descent, is
among about 30 Boko Haram fighters who died in the
encounter while many others fled with wounds.
The terrorists also lost a number weapons and equipment
including the captured 13 rifles, a machine gun, rocket
propelled grenade tubes and several other assorted
ammunition.
A Toyota Bufallo vehicle was also recovered from the
terrorists. Two of their armored vehicles were
also destroyed in the battle. The only casualty on the side of
own troops was damaged equipment.
Mopping up operations is ongoing in the general area.
Meanwhile, the offensive on all terrorists’ hideouts is
continuing in many fronts.
