The Nigerian Army says the troops of Operation Lafiya Dole (OPLD), on Friday, eliminated 21 Boko Haram\/Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in the border town of Geidam in Yobe.
\nThe Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Mohammed Yerima, in a statement on Saturday in Abuja, said that troops also recovered a gun truck and other assorted weapons from the encounter.<\/p>\n

He said the troops<\/a>, who are currently conducting \u2018Operation Tura Takaibango\u2019 engaged the terrorist when they attacked the strategic border town on Friday, destroying three communications masts and looting some shops in the process.<\/p>\n

According to him, the troops stationed at the town supported by the Air Component of OPLD mounted a hot pursuit and closed up with the terrorists killing 21 of them in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe gallant troops successfully recovered a gun truck with an anti-aircraft gun mounted on it, eight AK 47 rifles with ten magazines as well as two Rocket Propelled Grenade Bombs and five chargers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther items recovered include over a thousand rounds of different calibres of ammunition, one Commando Mortar Tube, 3 IED blasting devices, toolboxes, communication radios and cell phones among several other items of value,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that three soldiers were wounded in the encounter, adding that they were in stable conditions and receiving medical attention in a military facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, congratulated the Theatre Commander and troops of OPLD including the Air Component for this great achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe COAS restated the commitment of the Nigerian Army under his leadership to ending terrorism and all violent crimes in the North East and other parts of the country.<\/p>\n
