Nigeria’s military forces have recorded a major victory against Boko Haram sect in its war against terrorism after further decapitating the fighters in a recent raid.
According to information made available to Naij.com, about 20 of the terrorists were killed during the raid as the Nigerian troops advanced in its Lafiya Dole operation in the country’s northeast.
Colonel Kukasheka Usman, the spokesperson of the Nigerian army noted that this recent victory is in line with the Chief of Army Staff’s directive for troops to maintain the momentum.
He stated that “today (Tuesday), troops of 7 Division have carried out major operations against the Boko Haram terrorists locations in Talala and Kumshe axis.
“The joint operation which was carried out with Cameroonian forces was quite successful as a number of the terrorists were killed, some of their weapons and equipment either destroyed or captured.
“The joint operation between elements of 7 Division and the Cameroonian forces along Banki-Kumshe axis, led to the killing of 20 Boko Haram terrorists, destruction of 4 AK 47 rifles and capture of a gun truck mounted with an Anti-Aircraft Gun (AA Gun) and 2 AK 47 rifles, as well as a 60mm mortar and a Dane gun.”
While expressing regrets over the injury sustained by three soldiers and a damaged vehicle caused by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), Colonel Usman noted that, “troops also encountered about 10 other IEDs along the route of advance which were cleared. Most of the terrorists ran in disarray towards Fatake where troops on blocking position cleared them.
“Along the Talala axis despite an IED in which 1 soldier was wounded and a damaged vehicle, the operation is progressing very well. More so as the Nigerian Air Force has been assisting with interdiction and surveillance.”
During the raid, troops at Kodo rescued 150 persons who were mainly children also, a house with Boko Haram terrorists’ flag at Fatake caught fire with several ammunitions explosions in which three Boko Haram terrorists were killed in the house.
The army spokesperson also eulogised the equipment used in taking out some of the terrorists high-tech ammunition against the soldiers, Colonel Usman hailed the 5 Brigade and 7 Multinational Joint Task Force (MJTF), saying they were “doing very well in their respective area of operations. This is made possible by the steady supply of needed logistics into the various formations and units fighting the Boko Haram terrorists.
“The Army also launched new mine clearing equipment, weapons and their ammunitions. It is noteworthy, apart from being the first mine clearing machines in the inventory of the Nigerian Army, it is one of the best in the world.
And in his usual manner, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, the (Chief of Army Staff (COAS) has personally commended the troops for their impressive performance thus far.
“He made the commendation shortly after a briefing by the Deputy Theatre Commander and also the Land Component Commander, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, Major General LEO Irabor and the General Officer Commanding 7 Division, Brigadier General VO Ezugwu at the Theatre Command, Operation LAFIYA DOLE, Maiduguri.
“The Chief of Army Staff was in Maiduguri on official visit to formations and units in the North East. He was accompanied by the Chief of Training and Operations, Major General YM Abubakar and other senior officers from the Army Headquarters,” Usman noted, adding that the soldiers remained in high spirits after this latest success.https://www.naij.com/741414-bharam-fighters-dealt-fatal-blow-nigerian-troops-carry-unusual-raid-hideouts.html

So you've dedicated your life to only want to hear bad news till 2019. I'm sorry for you o, that's a very horrible existence. I think we can separate the military from politics. Military are killing bad guys, I think we should all be happy about that.
