Troops
of 28 Task Force Brigade of Operation LAFIYA DOLE have at about 7pm
on Monday, 6 November 2017 successfully repelled Boko Haram Terrorists
(BHT) attack in Gulak, Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa
State.
The
troops fought gallantly to repel the terrorists who attempted to
infiltrate Gulak town. The troops thwarted the terrorists by
neutralising a vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) trying
to ram into a stationery gun truck in order to gain access into their
location. Unfortunately the shrapnel from the detonated VBIED killed a
soldier and injured 3 other. The remains of the soldier have since been
evacuated while the injured are receiving medical attention in a
military hospital
In
another development, troops of 28 Task Force Brigade in conjunction
with Civilian vigilante at about 6:30am on Tuesday, 7 November 2017
neutralised 2 female suicide bombers at Waga Lawan in Madagali Local
Government Area of Adamawa State. The 2 female suicide bombers were
challenged while fleeing from the bush but refused all efforts to halt
them. On sighting the suicide vest on them, they were neutralised by
the troops.
The
decimated BHTs are more desperate and resorting to persons and
vehicle borne improvised explosive devices to attack soft targets and
vulnerable members of the populace. The general public is please
requested to be vigilant and continue to volunteer information of
strange persons and movements to the security agencies.
