According to a statement released yesterday by the Acting Director Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman:
“A patrol team from 5 Brigade, traversing
Dogon Gida and New Marte stepped on an undetected Improvised Explosive
Device (IED) buried by suspected Boko Haram terrorists. Unfortunately, 4
soldiers sustained various degrees of injuries and their vehicle was
badly damaged. The wounded soldiers have since been evacuated by Nigeria Air Force. Nevertheless, the team has been reinforced and have continued their
patrols until they fish out the perpetrators and neutralize them.

Similarly, to further buttress the collective resolve in the fight
against Boko Haram terrorists between Nigeria and our neighbouring
countries, troops of 25 and 26 Task Force Brigades in conjunction with
Cameroonian forces carried out clearance operation against the Boko
Haram terrorists around Ngoshe village.
While the Cameroonian troops
carried out the clearance, their Nigerian counterparts provided
blocking forces at strategic points where they decisively dealt with
fleeing terrorists that tried to escape. Consequently, troops of 121
Task Force Battalion also advanced to Mararraba, Angwan Fada, Dale,
Wizha, Bokko Timit, Bokko Nasanu, Bokko Hide, up to Ngoshe village where
they linked up with the Cameroonians.
