ISWAP mounts biggest siege on Super Camp, casualties as ground troops, air assets respond
The federal troops undertook one of its most successful counterattacks in weeks when ISWAP mounted its biggest offensive on the military Super Cam at Damboa, Borno on Thursday..
“The ISWAP insurgents rode in nine gun trucks, three Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) and three MRAPs, to attack the Super Camp,” a military intel source told PRNigeria.
“However, the ground troops, with the support of the military Air Task Force (ATF) engaged them, and eliminated scores of the terrorists,” the officer said.
The troops who have since mounted clearance operation in the town after aborting the terrorist’ attack, PRNigeria also, gathered recovered three gun trucks belonging to the ISWAP criminals.
The military eventually captured three gun trucks, and killed scores of the terrorists.
ISWAP has been having a losing battle with the federal troop lately, with just a handful of their endless attack succeeding.
