Army Spokesman Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement, explained that troops of 115 Task Force Battalion conducted dawn exploitation towards Leho village and environs.
He added that Troops of Joint Task Force, North East Operation HADIN KAI also destroyed several terrorists’ combat equipment in a fierce counteroffensive in Askira Uba local government area of Borno State.
Nwachukwu said equipment destroyed by troops include an MRAP vehicle and 11 gun trucks and also recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition viz., five gun trucks, two anti-aircraft guns, five AK47 rifles among others.
