Nigerian troops have recovered bodies of terrorists, 36 hand grenades and one 12.7 X 108mm round of ammunition concealed by terrorists in the general area of Baga, Kangarwa and Dogonchikun in Borno State.
The Nigerian Army spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja.
He said the troops of 119 Task Force Battalion of 7 Brigade on Operation Lafiya discovered the graves of the Boko Haram terrorists.
Usman said the “shallow graves” contained corpses of terrorists that died after they escaped with gunshot wounds during an encounter with Nigerian troops on January 13.
“The troops have continued their patrols by dominating the general area of Baga, Kangarwa and Dogonchikun with a view to intercepting fleeing Boko Haram terrorists,” the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the army spokesman as saying in the statement.
