Seven additional terrorists’ camps has been destroyed on Tuesday and more insurgents have been killed in the ongoing military campaign to wipe the Sambisa forest clean, the Defence Headquarters has announced.
According to a press statement issued by Maj-Gen Chris Olukolade, the defence spokesperson, an additional 25 women and children were rescued during the operations.
Olukolade said the troops captured the camps having scaled series of land mines in continuation of the assault on the forest bases of the terrorists.
He listed the camps to include the four notorious Alafa camps as well as those in Rogo Fulani, Laraga and others used as training camps in the forest.
“Various weapons including Rocket Propelled Grenades, Anti-Aircraft Guns and a number of vehicles were either captured or destroyed during the operation,” Olukolade said.
However he mentioned that four soldiers were wounded and have been evacuated for treatment.
He added that the operations were continuing with troops demonstrating high morale and fighting spirit as they searched the forests for terrorists, arms and hostages.
