“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.
