Troops clear more Boko Haram lairs

Abuja - Two Boko Haram terrorists have been killed after troops of the 7 Division Garrison conducted some fighting patrols along Leje Axis in Borno State.

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 have also blocked all known routes to prevent Boko Haram terrorists from transporting livestock across borders.

All these are with a view to stopping the Boko Haram from fuelling their terror machines through cattle rustling and illegal trading.

“As we continue our push to clear all remaining elements of Boko Haram terrorists we call on law abiding citizens of the country to continue providing security agencies with credible information about all known and suspected terrorists,” Army spokesperson, Kukasheka Usman, said on Tuesday.
