A terrorist leader, his cameraman, and several other insurgents have been killed by troops of Operation HADIN KAI, in Borno State.
The Media Information Officer of the North East branch of Operation HADIN KAI, Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, said this Friday that the operation which led to the killing of the terrorists took place on Thursday.
Uba says the terrorists, operating from the Mandara Mountains, attempted to infiltrate a military base in Bitta before the troops unleashed coordinated defensive fire.
He says the troops are dedicated and will continue its operations to deny terrorists freedom of action and ensure the safety and security of communities within their area of responsibility.
