Nigerian Troops Kill 27 Boko Haram Militants In Hildi, Balmo Forest

Back to winning ways, which they
lost in the
fake cease fire agreement
sometimes ago,
Nigerian troops have captured
documents
containing a list of communities
about to be
attacked and sketches of the towns
from fleeing
terrorists in Adamawa State.

In two separate operations spanning
Adamawa
and Bauchi states, the troops also
killed 27
suspected terrorists during fierce
confrontations in
a bid to rid the areas of insurgency.

During a hot pursue of the terrorists
around Hildi,
Adamawa State, at least seven of
the terrorists
lost their lives while a total of five
rifles, hundreds
of rounds of ammunition as well as
bows and
arrows were captured from them.
During another special raid
operation conducted
on Balmo and Lame forests linking
Borno, Bauchi
and Adamawa states, the
determined troops
recovered rifles and a number of
motorcycles after
a stiff resistance by terrorists was
crushed.

Over 20 of them lost their lives
while some were
reported wounded.

The Defence Spokesman, General
Chris Olukolade
who confirmed the incidents to
PRNigeria said six
soldiers were wounded in the
encounter.

At the end of the encounter, troops
eventually took
firm control of the forest location.

Meanwhile, the campaign against
terrorists'
activities is continuing with air and
land
operations being conducted in
various theatres in
parts of the country
