The military has, in recent times, stepped up its campaign against the Boko Haram Terrorists in the North East.
The range of operations were aimed at routing the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists who are seeking refuge in some remote locations in the forests.
One of these operations carried out by troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, on Saturday, involved troops of 159 Battalion, 27 Task Force Brigade.
In a release issued by Director of Army Information (DAPR), Brig.-Gen. Sani Kukeshika Usman, indicated that the troops of the unit, acting on a piece of intelligence, successfully executed a swift operation against suspected Boko Haram terrorists locations at Manlumudori, Aridi, Filari, Kingimari, Dinamari, Itari and Mirimari villages.
The unit further artillery bombardment operations west of Subdu village neutralised the concentration of the Boko Haram terrorists at Bulabulin and Alagarno forests.
The offensive operations later dovetailed into cordon and search operation at Degeltura, Gisum and Popamari villages.
