the continued push
by the military to recapture all
territories occupied by Boko
Haram fighters, troops on
cordon and search, along
Djimitillo-Damaturu Road,
Yobe State engaged in fierce
battle, at the weekend, with
fighters suspected to be
members of the Islamist
group, after their hideout was
discovered.
At Gulak, the headquarters of
Madagali Local Government
Area of Adamawa State, an
attempt by some fighters to
blow up a bridge to stop the
military’s advance, according
to sources, was foiled as the
troops, backed by air power,
routed the Boko Haram
insurgents.
The fierce fight to dislodge
the fighters from the hideout
along Djimtillo-Damaturu
Road, close to a market, was
said to have resulted in the
capture of a cache of arms
including several machine
guns and rifles while scores
of the fighters were killed.
A statement from the Defence
Headquarters (DHQ) noted
that many of the fighters died
in the resultant fire that
gutted the house where they
had made their base.
During the encounter, a
soldier was reportedly killed
while another was wounded
and was said to be
undergoing treatment.
In the Gulak encounter
troops, in pursuit of fighters,
according to an account,
caught up with some of them
who were in the process of
blowing up a bridge to deter
troops advance.
Some of the fighters were not
lucky as they died in the
battle.
“The troops are continuing
with cordon and search of the
town and environs after
overpowering the terrorists”,
the DHQ statement said.
“A lot of arms have been
recovered in the process.
Troops are also dismantling
the terrorist group’s flags
hoisted in the liberated
towns”.
