Troops Kill Top Boko Haram Commander by ishiamu(m): 10:08pm On Feb 05, 2015

The troops of the Multi National Joint Task Force may have killed a very high ranking member of the Boko Haram Sect in the ongoing military operation in the North East.
It was learnt that the insurgents’ commander whose identity was not revealed was killed in one of the raids carried out by Federal troops and their counterparts from Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
It was stated that the late commander was one of the top officers to the founder of the Boko Haram Sect, Muhammad Yusuf.
The Boko Haram Commander was said to have been killed during the battle of Malamfatori.
Nigeria’s neighboring countries are deploying a total of 3600 troops to the Multi National Joint Task Force to aid the nation’s current onslaught against the Boko Haram.
Out of the figure, Chad contributes the largest figure of 2,500 troops while Niger and Cameroon contributes 700 and 400 troops respectively.
It was stated that the insurgents’ top commander was killed in an air strike by helicopter gunships of the Nigerian Air Force, involved in the combined operation with ground forces during the fight to reclaim some border towns from the insurgents.
Some of the towns liberated by the soldiers of the Multi National Joint Task Force from Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon are Gamboru-Ngala, Malamfatori, Abadam, Kirawa and Ashigashiya and Michika.
It was gathered that troops had encircled Gwoza, and were moving against the town which was captured and made part of a caliphate announced by the insurgents last year.
An Intelligence personnel said on Thursday that the Nigerian Army also made a big break in the battle against the insurgents by recovering some of the most lethal military equipment captured by insurgents when they took over the Baga base of the task force.
The recovered equipment included “a Battle Armoured Tank equipped with comprehensive protective system and maximum firing distance and accuracy with anti-aircraft rotating mount; its fire accuracy is attained by range-finder, ballistic computer with a thermal barrel sleeve.”
Also in the list of the captured items are armoured personnel vehicles, artillery guns, arms and ammunition, and Hilux vehicles.
Our correspondent could not get the Director, Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, to comment on the story as the calls to his mobile telephone line could not connect.
