Troops of 26 and 28 Task Force Brigades repelled an early morning
daring attack by fleeing Boko Haram terrorists on military locations at
Pulka and Bitta in the fringes of Sambisa forest.
Yesterday, March 8, troops of 114 Task Force Battalion came under
three-pronged attack by Boko Haram terrorists fanning out of Sambisa
forest from Damboa, Tokumbere and Pulka axis. At the end of the debacle,
2 Boko Haram insurgents paid for their atrocities with their lives
while several others sustained gun shot injuries. The fate that befell
those that attacked Pulka was more dreadful.
The ever ready and vigilant troops rose to the occasion by repelling
the attacks and killing all the 16 attackers and captured one of them
alive during the exploitation. The gallant troops also recovered 11
AK-47 rifles, 3 General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs), 1 Browning Machine
Gun (BMG) and 2 Toyota Hilux vehicles. Others are a 60mm Mortar tube, 7
boxes of 12.7mm ammunition and 1 belt of 12.7mm ammunition.
There were no casualty on the troops except for 3 soldiers that
sustained minor injuries. The troops remained on maximum alert and are
equally busy consolidating and continuing with their clearance
