troops also cleared all the four camps located within the area that includes
Faldan, Kidiziromari, Kuroshini, Kurumari and Ngulda.
According to Usman, one Boko Haram terrorist was killed while trying to
escape and about 31 persons were rescued from the terrorists.
He said the troops discovered stockpile of farm produce in metal drums, sacks and underground storage facilities.
“Other items recovered included several bicycles and motorcycles. Some of
the farmlands yet to be harvested were also set ablaze by the terrorists. A
wooden rifle used for training and practice by the terrorists was also
retrieved,” he stated.
In a related development, Usman said the troops of 7 Division Garrison
conducted eight fighting patrols along Leje Axis.
He said: “The troops cleared the area and about 15 other villages around Leje. They include Khadadamamari, Ladin Buta, Hilmari, Kashauri, Keshan Ngala,Aiwa, Masu Kura, Mabirni, Grza 1 and 2, Mashuari, Dubenge, Tauba and Majande.
“Troops also pursued and destroyed two Boko Haram terrorists on

terrorists from transporting livestock across borders.”
All these, he added, are with a view to stopping the sect from fuelling their
terror machines through cattle rustling and illegal trading.
