Troops of the Joint Task Force (JTF), North-East Operation Hadin Kai, have neutralised a terrorist and recovered arms and ammunition during a fighting patrol around Delwa and Tojiri villages in Borno State.
Zagazola gathered that the operation was conducted on Wednesday by the troops, working in conjunction with hunters and members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF).
Sources said that the troops, deployed to Delwa village, advanced towards Tojiri at about 9:00 a.m. and came under fire from terrorists.
“The troops engaged the terrorists with heavy volume of fire, neutralising one of them while others fled in disarray.
“During exploitation of the general area, troops recovered one FN rifle, two FN magazines containing 28 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition, two Tecno phones and three sachets of drugs,” the report said.
The sources added that no casualty was recorded on the side of the troops.
