The Joint Task Force in Borno State says 52 members of the dreaded Islamic sect the Boko Haram were killed in a clash with security forces yesterday in Maiduguri the state capital.

The success is coming just one day after the president; Dr Goodluck Jonathan had lavished praises on the JTF for its gallantry in the fight against the menace of the Boko Haram during his two day official visit to Borno state.

A statement made available to newsmen in Maiduguri the Borno State capital by the JTF spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa reveals that JTF lost two personnel in the operation carried out between 3:00 and 8:00 PM yesterday around Bulabulin, Bayern quarters and Jajeri areas of Maiduguri metropolis.

The operation according to the statement was based on information and intelligent report leading to series of operations for the past ten days.

During the operation which witnessed stiff resistance yesterday by the insurgents according to the statement, ten out of the 52 killed are commanders of the insurgent, while three personnel of the security forces sustained injuries and are currently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital.

Yesterday’s operation according to Sagir Musa recorded the largest arms recovery ever made by the JTF since the commencement of the insurgency.

Items recovered include 3 anti-aircraft guns, 10 Rocket Propelled Grenade Tubes, 3 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) and 17 AK 47 Rifles.

Others include; 20 RPG Bombs, 12 RPG chargers, 36 hand-held grenades, 33 AK47 magazines, 11 FN magazines and 11,068 assorted Ammunitions.

The operation according to the statement also led to the recovery of two technical vehicles with mounted anti-aircraft stands, five walkie-talkies, 4 VHF hand held sets and assorted uniforms and kits among others.

The statement also thanked members of the public and JTF moles in the Boko Haram camp for the timely information and asking other people to do same in the fight against the sects.

They were probably planning on unleashing these arsenals on the President during the visit.

Person just dey fear for this Nigeria. God help us o!

Very good! You can imagine the havoc these arms and ammunition would have caused. Eeeeeeeeeeediots!!!!!

Very good, the spirit of the 7 defenseless foreigners that was unnecessary killed should be atoned by dropping more of those misguided elements...

Good Job.

If you find Joy in killing innocent people, also find joy in dying yourself.

I think this issue is getting out of hand!
Do they want to fight WORLD WAR 111,to have gathered all these amunitions?
I doubt it, if both Nigeria Army and Biafra made use of such amunition during civil war!
Besides,honestly since Jonathan became president,yesterday was the first time I fell in love with him,for daring to tell the Borno elders to tell Boko Haram to come out of their shell!
This a case of the Yoruba adage,which says; patapata laa foju,kutekute laa dete,oju afofo tan,ija nii daa le!
Nigeria Army,kudos to you,it is a case of No retreat,No surrender!
May God bless the Nigeria Army!

Kudos to the JTF for a job well executed.
I pray for God protection n guidance to them..pls continue with the good work, good Nigerians are behind you.. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I luv my country no matter what.

No time, just finish them.

Hope no one escaped.

122 bad boyz will not be in town without the community knowing it. The community should do more about supplying JTF with good information.

The community and the elites know the bad boyz, they know their base. Why shielding them and blaming GEJ for their woes and underdevelopment?

Kudos to JTF

this is what we expect niaja security to do,kudos to u all.roast those nlood thirsty cowards alive,blood sucking demons.the question is ,where do they get funds to buy all this armunations?because i very sure that some nigeria barracks can not boast of all these armunation

don't rejoice yet, coz dey might revenge. dat is advice for u. Good of u

The Arms Cache is enough to start a little war. I strongly recommend that the JTF should acquire drones and monitor the perimeters using advance vidcam and gprs system.

That is good. What have a beginning must definately have an end.

By now they have been awarded 72virgins in hell

Na civil war the sect wan fight

Whats are JTF waiting for? They should kill all the 70 insurgents immediatey so that they will go and get their share of virgins in hell fire.

They must be defeated

Arrests ke? Kill them all. Make no arrests. Their virgins are waiting for them in hell.

More of that..

What is this? Are they preparing for war? just a few days ago, another arms cache was found in the house of a prominent politician in Kaduna today its in Borno. Items recovered include 3 anti-aircraft guns, 10 Rocket Propelled Grenade Tubes, 3 General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) and 17 AK 47 Rifles.

Others include; 20 RPG Bombs, 12 RPG chargers, 36 hand-held grenades, 33 AK47 magazines, 11 FN magazines and 11,068 assorted Ammunitions.

Tho Boko boys gave us a tough fight but we gave them no chances. No be small battle, I was on the front line.

(52+70) x 70 virgins .... *****whistles***

I believe anybody found guilty of being a boko haram member should be publicly executed.

To hell with them! What they believe and practice is totally out of ISLAM. Islam is peace and peace is Islam.

With the number of casualties wey I dey hear everyday about JTF vs BOKO BOYS for news ehn,I dey wonder if their population go still sizeable at all. But our Soja men dem sef. Evn US fight 4 afghanistan no dey record ds number of casualties. Life in 9ja na nutin
