Troops repel Boko Haram attack at military base in Niger

According to the Defence Headquarters, Nigerian troops repelled a Boko Haram/ISWAP offensive on October 29 at Wawa Cantonment in the Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State.

Major-General Musa Danmadami, the Director of Defence Media Operations, announced this on Thursday in Abuja at the biweekly news conference on military operations.

According to Mr Danmadami, the attempt was thwarted through the synchronised ground and air operations that resulted in the deaths of six terrorists, the capture of 18 more, and the destruction of their weapons and equipment.

“Following the engagement, troops neutralised three terrorists, captured five and recovered one HK 21 gun, nine PKT guns, 598 rounds of 7.62mm NATO, 676 rounds of 7.62 special, 3,902 rounds of AK49 ammunition, two RPG tubes, seven RPG bombs, one grenade and three cartons of Improvised Explosive Devices accessories.

“Other items recovered include two vehicles, two Motorola radios, two radio chargers, cartons of drip, motorcycles, cell phones and other sundry items.

“Equally, a follow-up and exploitation operation was conducted by troops in conjunction with vigilantes at Tungan Gagara and Damala villages where contacts were made with the terrorist. After a firefight, 13 terrorists were arrested while several others jumped into the river.

“Consequently, a similar operation was carried out on Nov. 1 at Babusara village where troops neutralised three terrorists while others fled in disarray,” he said.
