The Nigerian Army’s sustained offensive operation to clear out terrorist hideouts in the Timbuktu Triangle, spanning across Borno and Yobe States, has yielded significant success.
Through a combination of intense air and artillery strikes, as well as ground combat, the terrorists were forced to abandon their strongholds, fleeing the area.
In the wake of their retreat, the troops discovered valuable assets left behind by the terrorists, including an MOWAG Armoured Personnel Carrier, a Canter Truck, and a Tractor.
Additionally, the Army rescued 44 civilians, among them were women and children, who had been held captive by the terrorists in the region.
Upon their liberation, the rescued individuals were immediately provided with essential relief, including new clothing, aimed at offering them a semblance of comfort and dignity as they embarked on their journey to freedom.
