GOOD NEWS : Army recaptures town from boko haram amidst heavy gun battle

Troops of Operation Lafiya Dole and
Multinational Joint Task Force, MNJTF, have
captured Mallam Fatori in northern Borno
after a fierce battle closely covered by air
operations.
According to a statement signed by the acting
Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani
Usman, on Wednesday, the town was captured
under “Operation Gama Aiki” of the Operation
Lafiya Dole.
Usman said that the troops killed several of
the Boko Haram terrorists in the resulting
encounter, who subsequently withdrew “to a
vantage position”.
”However, the terrorists reinforced around the
border with Niger Republic.
”This was while the troops were consolidating
on this success.
”The Operation is continuing,” the army
spokesman said.
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel
Olonisakin, had recently vowed that the
military will continue its onslaught against
Boko Haram insurgents, saying troops
operating in the North East have so dealt with
the sect that they can no longer launch
attacks and claim territories.
