The Nigerian troops have continued to record breakthroughs against the Islamic sect foot soldiers, otherwise known as Boko Haram.
This is just as troops of 27 Task Force Brigade, Nigerian Army have embarked on a joint Operation nicknamed “Operation KARYA GWUIWA”, clearing operations on suspected Boko Haram terrorists hideouts at Ajigin, Golgore, Njibulla, Doksa 1, 2 and 3 villages located at southern parts of Borno State.
During the operation, they neutralized 37 Boko Haram terrorists at Ajigin and recovered 3 AK-47 rifles.
Unfortunately, a vigilante group member lost his life, while 5 soldiers were wounded during the clearance operation, a statement by Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, Acting Director Army Public Relations said.
According to him, the corpse of the late vigilante and the wounded soldiers have been evacuated and taken to the hospital.

“The troops have continued with the clearance operation and also maintaining blocking positions to further neutralize and destroy any fleeing Boko Haram terrorists,” he added.
