In continuation of the clearance operations of remnants of Boko Haram terrorists’ reported locations and hideouts by the military, troops of 120 Task Force Battalion cleared the camp at Bulasari.

During the operation, quite a number of the Boko Haram terrorists were killed while one soldier sustained gunshot wound.

The solder’s condition, according to Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman, Acting Director Army Public Relations, is stable and is currently being managed at Damaturu General Hospital.

One of the most significant aspects of the operation was the recovery of Nigerian Army Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) earlier captured by the terrorists during an attack on Buni Yadi on July 9, 2015.

The APC was discovered at Golgore River line and it has since been evacuated.

“This operation has further proven our commitment to rid our country of the menace of Boko Haram terrorists and other criminal elements in the society,” the statement said.
