Troops involved in the ongoing counter terrorism operation in the North-East have arrested a number of terrorists who disguised as women in Baga, Borno State.
Baga, the headquarters of the Multi National joint Task Force, was captured by the insurgents in January but was recaptured by the Special Forces on Saturday.
The Director of Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, who stated this in a statement on Monday, did not give the exact number of the terrorists arrested.
Olukolade had said in an earlier statement on Sunday that troops were screening a group of people mostly women in Baga to ascertain their true identities and to find out whether they were supporters of the deadly sect or not.
The Defence spokesman said that the troops had arrested many terrorists hiding in Baga apart from those captured during the battle to liberate the town.
Olukolade, who also said that several arms and bombs hidden at some locations within Baga had been recovered, stated that those in custody were being interrogated.
He said, “The cordon and search in Baga has revealed some terrorists disguising as women.
“The searches are also yielding more discoveries of arms especially bombs hidden in various locations, especially Baga town.
“Apart from those captured in the course of fighting, many terrorists hiding in the town are being arrested and troops are still busy interrogating the suspects.
“In furtherance of the mission to clear terrorists from all their enclaves by the military, the Nigerian Air Force has stepped up its air bombardments of identified targets in Gwoza, Bama and Sambisa forest, preparatory to other phases of the mission.
“The air strikes have been highly successful as they achieved the aims, hitting vital targets with required precision. Terrorists are now in disarray as they scamper to escape from the impact of air bombardment of their locations in the forest.”
He said that the military was now preoccupied with the consolidation of the liberated areas to pave the way for the return of the residents after flushing out the terrorists from Baga. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

DeleteGreat work! i just have the confidence that Nigerian Army has what it take to deliver the task but the question is why has the presidency withhold the authority since? Many lives would have been preserve. this BH has done greatly evil, so they fear death too and started pretending has woman, does woman has Mustache? Barawo!
ReplyDeleteIf you watch CNN or Aljazeera the always show us video not pictures. If you guys really captured the terrorists show us their video not picture. Nigerian Government can arrange one man and dress him like woman, anything is possible in Nigeria. Show us the video of the terrorists captured don't pity them expose them let the world see. After all Boko-Haram shows video so our military should be showing video. Show us video of our military fighting in the war front, show us the video of the terrorists captured, shows the videos of our journalists covering the news like the do in Aljazeera and CNN. We are Thomas now, we are too education to be telling any story. Boko-Haram shows their own devilish video so show us video of our military dealing with them no mercy.
ReplyDeleteThank God for Nigerian Army. It's good you eventually wake up from ur slumber, Nigerians have forgiven ur many sins to ur fatherland. Meanwhile, I want to advise u to continuously carry out serious check on ur personnel identify moles n give/establish necessary measures for the sanctity of ur operations.
