The Nigerian Army said that it has captured a large collection of arms and ammunition as well as some money from the camps of Boko Haram group after the military engaged the terrorists in gun battles on Friday night.
This information was contained in a statement signed on Saturday in Abuja by the Director of Information for Defence Headquarters, Major General Chris Olukolade.
The Army spokesman said that troops of the Multi-National Joint Task Force carried out counter-terrorism operations on Boko Haram camps in Duguri, Polkime, Malafatori on the fringes of Lake Chad.
“Those captured in the encounter are providing useful information towards the discovery of other hide outs of the daring terrorists,” Olukolade said in the statement.
He stated that seven terrorists were captured during the encounter, while one soldier was also killed, and five others wounded.
Olukolade added that a “cordon and search as well as patrols and pursuit by air and land is continuing in the entire mission area of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States.”
