Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have killed about 18 Boko Haram terrorists when they raided their enclaves in Sambisa Forest in the Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.
The troops reportedly got credible intelligence from the newly established camp where the insurgents coordinated operations in the Sheutari and Mutari general area.
According to the report, the troops of 21 Task Force Brigade Bama in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force(CJTF) on Tuesday conducted precise clearance into the Garin Ba’aba enclave which led to the elimination of nearly a score of insurgents.
