The Troops of the Forward Operating Base Molai, in conjunction with Civilian Joint Task Force, Operation Hadin Kai, have rescued four Boko Haram family, after laying an ambush at the logistic crossing point of the terrorists along the road Yuwe- Komala, in Bama LGA in Borno State.
An intelligence source told Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad, that the troops made contact with the terrorists in the course of the counter-offensive patrol in Yuwe which led to a heavy gun battle.
The sources said that the troops successfully defeated Boko Haram terrorists while others reportedly fled in disarray, thus abandoning their family properties and ammunition.
The sources said that the rescued members consisted of a Mother, Aisha Usman, (24 years), with three daughters, Hauwa 8 years old, Binta 6 years and Amina 2 years and three months.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Aisha Usman was forcefully abducted when Boko Haram invaded her home in HANTSA village in Gulak district Madagali LGA of Adamawa State in 2014.
She was moved to Njimiya camp of the Boko Haram in Sambisa Forest where she was forcefully married to one of the terrorists with three children.
The rescued family were taken to the military custody for profiling and further necessary action.
