Troops In Borno Kill 3 Members Of Boko Haram And Free 9 Hostages


THREE Boko Haram insurgents have been slain by the soldiers of the 21st armored Brigade during Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) in the Borno state's Bama LGA.


A counter-insurgency expert who specializes in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, claims that the Boko Haram fighters were slain while on patrol in the state.


Makama said: “The terrorists were naturalized in Churchur village during a fighting patrol by the troops of 202 Battalion in conjunction with Hybrid forces. The troops also recovered 2 dane guns.


“Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that in a separate Operation in conjunction with Civilian Joint Task Force and HYBRID forces, the troops conducted clearance T Angwan Jingina and Bula Marwa on March 30, 2024. 


“The troops successfully rescued 9 persons comprising 3 adult females and 6 children. The troops equally destroyed the hamlets in the camps of Boko Haram while the terrorists fled.”


This development occurs days after the military killed three people they believed to be terrorists during a raid on the Boko Haram fighters' and ISWAP fighters' hideouts in the states of Borno and Katsina.
