Suspected Boko Haram Insurgents Handed Over to The Nigerian Army

By Correspondent

Two suspected members of the Boko Haram insurgents, have been handed over to the Commander of 121 Task Force Battalion by the Cameroonian forces, just as 112 people were rescued from the insurgents in joint operations carried out by the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), in the ongoing counter-insurgency in the Northeast. A statement from the Army spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman, revealed that the Commander of the 1 Battalion of the Cameroonian Forces paid a courtesy call on the Commander of the 121 Task Force Battalion in Pulka. The statement reads “to further consolidate on the cordial relationship, as the visiting unit assisted with the demining of a section of the road between Kirawa Junction to Pulka and handed over two suspected Boko Haram terrorists to the Nigerian unit. “One of the visiting unit’s vehicle ran into an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), buried along Pulka-Ngoshe road which led to an officer and eight soldiers sustaining injuries. Unfortunately, the officer died while being evacuated to Douala by air. “We wish to commiserate with the Cameroonian forces for the incident and the demise of the officer. “Similarly, troops of 113 Battalion on patrol to Ngwala cleared Boko Haram terrorist camps at Ngorta and Aritimie villages. “The troops also came across the terrorists’ market in the area. However, on sighting the troops the terrorists ran and abandoned their supplies. “The troops continue the cordon and search to ensure that the area around Ngwala was free of the insurgents. In the course of this, two pick up vehicles and 12 motorcycles belonging to the fleeing Boko Haram terrorists were recovered. ” The market has been closed indefinitely.
