Troops Launch Ruthless Attack on Terrorists in Borno

In a statement shared on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and WhatsApp, the Nigerian Army revealed that on Saturday, March 1, 2025, soldiers deployed in Bama Local Government Area, Borno State, executed a coordinated assault on a heavily fortified terrorist hideout. The attack followed credible intelligence that insurgents were regrouping to unleash terror on villages around Garin Fallujah.

During the operation, the troops overpowered the terrorists and recovered:

✅ 11 Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG) bombs

✅ 760 rounds of 7.62mm linked ammunition

✅ 220 rounds of 12.7mm linked ammunition

✅ One AK-47 rifle

✅ 440 rounds of 7.62mm x 54mm ammunition

Additionally, a clearance operation in Unguwan Abdullahi, a known terrorist stronghold, led to the destruction of insurgents' hideouts and the discovery of stockpiled food supplies buried underground—cutting off their critical sustenance.
