“In their reinvigorated drive to end the insurgency in the North East, Nigerian Army troops have continued to sustain the tempo of the ongoing Counter Terrorism and Counter Insurgency operations in the North East with a view to decimating and destroying the remnant Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa (ISWAP) criminals across the Operation LAFIYA DOLE Theatre.

“In one of the numerous operations conducted across the Theatre today, 16 November 2019, troops of 26 Task Force Brigade embarked on a Clearance Patrol to Dalu Village within the Mandara Mountains in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State following credible intelligence report on the presence of some of the criminal insurgents in that area.

“Fortunately, the report was confirmed as the troops soon established contact with the marauding terrorists and effectively subdued them with their superior fire power during the ensuing fire fight.

“Subsequently, the troops proceeded to thorough clear the Village of the presence of the criminal insurgents. The clearance operation yielded good dividends as the troops found and rescued an octogenarian, 3 women and 4 children hitherto held captives by the criminal insurgents.

“The rescued victims were promptly evacuated and children among them were equally administered with Polio Vaccination by a Nigerian Army medical team.

“Interestingly, no causality was recorded by own troops during the commando operations. However, many of the Boko Haram criminal elements were observed to have fled in disarray towards the summit of Mandara Mountains with gunshot wounds.

“The troops’ resilience and doggedness are unwavering as further exploitation to complete the annihilation of the insurgents is being sustained in the mountainous environment.

“The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai wishes to reassure the general public of the resolve of the Nigerian Army to continue to execute our constitutional mandate professionally and responsively for a better secured Nigeria.

“He also thanks all well-meaning Nigerians for their continued support, goodwill and understanding towards officers and men of the Nigerian Army as they sustain the conduct of various operations and routine exercises nationwide.

“You are kindly requested to disseminate above information to the general public for their awareness. Thank you for your usual cooperation.”

u don't knw NA oooiooio so STFU

The Nigerian army have been so politicised, since when did the army start to broadcast their operational successes.

You see, if we as a people cannot know when we are been deceived and when we are been told the truth so long shall this thing continue. This government is built on scam and that is their thrust. SCAM to rig election, SCAM to keep up with the election and SCAM all the way.

United we stand Nigeria.

Our officers and men of the Armed Forces as well as personnel of the JTF and CJTF are brave men and women who put their bodies as the last line of defence that our nation Nigeria and it’s people will once again be free from the evil terrorists and their masters.

May God strengthen them and grant peace to the souls of the departed officers and men who have fallen in the line of duty. May their families be consoled as well.

Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria!
