Combined troops of 82 Division Task Force
Brigade and 158 Task Force Battalion conducting Counter Insurgency
Operations in North Eastern Nigeria, weekend encountered Boko Haram
insurgents in Gudumbali in Guzamala Local Government Area of Borno
state.
The
encounter took place when the insurgents attacked the community, set
some buildings ablaze and quickly withdrew from the community.
However, no human casualty was recorded in the encounter.
According
to Brigadier General Texas Chukwu, Director Army Public Relations, “
the troops have regrouped and normalcy have been restored. The troops
have also been reinforced with additional troops to dominate the
general area.
“It
will be recalled that Gudumbali is one of the communities in Borno
state, that were recently reoccupied by Internally Displaced Persons
who had voluntarily returned to their ancestral homes.
“The
people of Gudumbali community and Guzamala Local Government in
general are urged to remain calm and resilient as Operation Lafiya
Dole troops tirelessly combat the terrorists. They are also implored
to maintain high level of vigilance and monitor strange faces to
prevent fleeing Boko Haram terrorists from infiltrating and
hibernating in their communities.
“The
good people of the North East are assured of the unalloyed resolve of
troops of Operation Lafiya Dole to continue to combat the Boko Haram
terrorists in the region.”
