Nigerian Army kills 36 Boko Haram members in north-west states

According to the Army's verified Twitter account, a total of 36 Boko Haram members were killed during the operations. Additionally, kidnapped victims were rescued, and various items were recovered, including three motorcycles, three AK-47 magazines, and a considerable amount of ammunition.

One of the notable incidents occurred on August 3, 2023, when armed bandits attempted to launch an attack on Isa Local Government Area in Sokoto State. The well-prepared troops deployed in the Forward Operating Base, Isa, swiftly responded to the threat and repelled the attack with superior firepower. The bandits were forced to retreat, leaving behind traces of bloodstains as they fled.

Similarly, the troops of Team 8 from Sector 3, Operation Hadarin Daji, conducted successful clearance operations in Sokoto State. In Kusabunni Forest, Tafkin Gawo, Alumdawa, Ungwar Mailele, and Malamawa villages, the troops discovered and destroyed several bandits' hideouts. (ILKHA)
