Director of Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, has said troops of the Nigerian Army have killed a top Commander of Boko Haram in an encounter with the terrorists on Tuesday morning at the Alagarno Forest.

Olukolade gave the identity of the ‘notorious terrorists commander’ as Abu Mojahid, in a statement on Wednesday.

The Defene spokesman explained that the soldiers had an encounter with the insurgents when they staged a daring attack on troops, who were on patrol in the area.

According to him, the troops killed a number of the terrorists while some rocket propelled grenades and vehicles with mounted anti-aircraft guns were either destroyed or captured in the encounter.

He added that the troops were clearing Improvised Explosive Devices planted by the retreating terrorists to obstruct the troops’ advance in the area.
Olukolade said the military operation against the terrorists were ongoing in some forests of the mission area.
He said, “A notorious top terrorists commander, Abu Mojahid, was among the terrorists that died in their encounter with troops in the outskirt of Alagarno on Tuesday morning. The terrorists had staged a daring attack on troops, who were on patrol of the area.

“Meanwhile, the military operations are continuing in the form of offensive action on identified terrorists in some forest locations. Aggressive patrols, mopping up as well as cordon and search are also continuing in the other locations in search of weapons and terrorists.

“Improvised Explosive Devices planted by the terrorists to deter the comprehensive offensive by the advancing troops are also being carefully cleared as troops continue to pursue fleeing ones.

They should have beaten him up till he tells us where shekau and the chibok girls are. He should also tell us who their sponsors are so that those fools accusing Buhari will shut up. As stup1d as they are, they expect Buhari to send his boys to kill him or was it staged? If you watched the video you will know whether it was staged or not!

Na today

In eLdee's voice *but if you really check am, NA WASH*

Troops have been killing commanders since time immemorial. What we need is the end to the insurgency and not the murder of an insignificant member of the group- assuming if the story is even true-. I've learnt not to believe anything the Nigerian army says because they have a knack of not proving it.

Thats very Good

Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress
