The Nigerian Army has continued to record more success in its bid to flush out remnants of Boko Haram members in the northeast.

The latest victory came as troops of 29 Brigade’s Quick Reaction Force, QRF, with help from the youth vigilante group, Civilian JTF, on Friday successfully ambushed members of the group in Marguba, a village in Kaga local government area of Borno State, killing two while others escaped with gunshot wounds.

According to a statement issued on Saturday by army spokesperson, Sani Usman, a Colonel, the troops recovered some weapons and ammunition including “one AK-47 rifle with 29 rounds of 7.62mm (Special) ammunition, a bow and arrows, a Tecno mobile telephone handset, 1 wallet and an Identity Card of Animal Dealers Association, among other items.”

Similarly, Usman said troops are not deterred by the unfavourable terrain in Sambisa forest caused by heavy downpour, which makes movement of vehicles and equipment difficult, as they carry out clearance operations with support from Civilian JTF.

“Despite bugging down of vehicles and equipment because of the bad terrain, the troops have continued with their clearance operations,” Usman added.
