Troops of 195 Battalion, Sector 1 Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), in conjunction with Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), on July 3 captured two Boko Haram terrorists around Muna general area of Borno.
The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement on Tuesday, said the troops also intercepted supplies meant for the terrorists during the operation.
Nwachukwu said one hand grenade, one ax, one vehicle, five bicycles, two mobile phones (Techno and Infinix), petrol, oil, and lubricants were recovered.
He said the troops also recovered psychedelic and sex enhancement drugs, pesticides and insecticides, foodstuff, amongst others.
According to him, the vigilant troops, who left no stone unturned during the clearance operation, combed the entire area, destroying several identified camps of the terrorists.
“During the operation, troops, however, came in contact with terrorists at Labe Village, who attempted fleeing but were swiftly intercepted.
“The Chief of Army Staff, Maj.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya has commended the alertness of the troops, urging them to sustain the aggressive posture of the operation, to ensure they clear terrorists’ enclaves and dominate the general area,” he said.
