Hehehe....Press statement from the Nigerian Army
Heroic Nigerian troops have today captured the economic important and strategic town of Banki town in Borno State which is equally noted for fishing.
The
gallant troops have completed exploiting through the town and
terrorists’ famous Boko Haram Islamiyah (An Islamic School) building. In
addition, the soldiers have destroyed 7 Boko Haram camps and
successfully detonated 7 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). The troops
have succeeded in discovering and detonating 13 IEDs between Darel
Jamal and Banki.
During the encounter to
recapture the town, several Boko Haram terrorists were killed and
several others were captured alive between Banki junction and Ngorosoye.
The
recapture of the strategic town was facilitated by concerted efforts of
the Nigerian Air Force and close liaison with the Cameroon’s Army.
The
Chief of Army Staff’s goodwill message delivered through Major General
YM Abubakar, the Commander, OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE has gone a long way to
boost troops’ morale and prod them into action.
The recapture of this town apart restoring Nigeria’s territory law, would improve the economic activities in that area.
In
a related development, a renown terrorist trying to escape with his
family, was intercepted by troops between Pulka and Gwoza and has
surrendered himself to the troops.
Efforts
to consolidate on the gains made by troops towards ridding all parts of
Nigerian territory of Boko Haram terrorists are ongoing.
Thank you for your usual cooperation.
