The Nigerian army yesterday said troops of 81
Battalion and 251 Task Force Battalion, laid ambush against some Boko Haram
elements at Komala and Musafanari general area coming from Sambisa forest.
A statement yesterday by army spokesman Colonel Sani
Usman said the ambush party dealt with some terrorists on motorcycles and some
were killed while others fled with gunshot wounds.
He added that the troops recovered one AK-45 rifle
with registration number 56-2614519, in addition to a magazine containing 9
rounds of 7.62mm (Special), 6 motorcycles, 2 bags of salt and other assorted
food items as well as various Improvised Explosive Making Devices (IEDs).
Colonel Usman said: “The recovered items clearly
show that the terrorists were out for a nefarious mission which was aborted by
the timely ambushes.”
