Text: Troops foil Boko Haram ambush, dismantle makeshift camps in Borno By Zagazola Makama Troops of the 27 Task Force Brigade, operating under Operation HADIN KAI, have foiled an attempted ambush by suspected Boko Haram terrorists along the Buni Gari–Buratai axis in Borno. The troops, while conducting a routine patrol along the axis, encountered the terrorists who attempted to attack the military convoy. The troops responded decisively, forcing the terrorists to withdraw from the area in disarray. Following the encounter, reinforcements were deployed to the location, where the troops cleared the ambush site and conducted exploitation operations across the surrounding terrain. During the operation, the troops discovered and dismantled several makeshift settlements suspected to have been used as hideouts by the terrorists. Items recovered from the camps included a motorcycle, bicycles, a magazine, ammunition and rocket-propelled grenade bombs. Sources said there were no casualties among the troops during the encounter, although some military vehicles sustained damage.
