The military Joint Task Force (JTF) has killed four sub-commanders of the dreaded Boko Haram sects including two experts in the manufacture of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and petrol-bombs.

In a statement signed by the JTF spokesman Lt. Col Sagir Musa, the taskforce said it also recovered a cache of arms and ammunitions from the terrorist’s hideout.

The spokesman said that the successful operation of the task force was based on information made available by residents.

The recovered arms and ammunitions, according to the statement, included five units of Kalashnikov rifles, a pistol, 11 AK 47 rifle empty magazines, a G3 rifle, 176 assorted ammunitions, 24 units of primed IED gas cylinders, a dozen IED remote control switches, six assorted IED and incendiary materials and chemicals, 15 small primed IED cans.

The statement further added that: “all the recovered items are planned to be used by the terrorists for operation ‘Black Christmas’– aimed to disrupt peaceful conduct of the impending Christmas celebration in Borno State.”

The statement also reads: “sustained follow up operations were successfully conducted by the Task Force at Sabon Gari, Sabon Layin Gwange, Dala Zajeri, Biafra and Suleimanti areas of Maiduguri metropolis between 3 and 5 December, 2012.

“Consequently, four identified Boko Haram Terrorists sub commanders including two experts in the manufacturing of Improvised Explosive Devices were killed in a shootout with own troops, two soldiers were wounded and arms and ammunitions were also recovered from the various hideouts of terrorists.”

The statement therefore thanked members of the public for their cooperation and understanding by giving information that has assisted in the successes so far recorded.

Members of the public, according to the statement, are reminded to continue to give timely and credible information to the JTF through the following phone lines- 08064174066, 07085464012 and 08154429346.

I believe that people's prayers over boko haram are working. Nigerians should not relent in prayers since it is key to solving any problem. God we praise thee.

Yes. That's why security agencies have been advising people to destroy empty cans, rather than throwing them away.

They sure have tight and organize hierarchy,with various specialties,and that's why they've been able to strive even after the deaths of their big guns. God help us this christmas.

I wonder how many lives would have been lost if these bombs were detonated ? God pass devil

It would have been better and more prudent to not state that local residents informed the JTF abt the boko dem.
Now these residents will be targets of revenge.Just a thought.

This is quite alarming. I fear this war will continue for a long time to come. We have heard a lot about similar successful operations carried out against this group in the past, yet they always bounce back and carry out even deadlier attacks. Its obvious they are recruiting more and more people on a daily basis. This scenario is akin to what we are witnessing in other wars against extremists such as the Taliban in Afghanistan, Al shabab in Somalia and Al quaeda in some Arab countries. The challenge posed by a determined bunch of muslim extremists seems insurmountable. The Nigerian army really has a huge task on their hands.

Someone ones said "when I'm wrong no one forgets but when I'm right no one remembers" I am not a fan of Jonathan but since Nigerians are too quick to condemn his failures, let us learn to be swift to commend his successes. Praise does good to everyone including God, it encourages a king to do more towards the direction of praise.
