Communities around the Lake Chad boundary area have been saved from an imminent terrorist attack by the timely intervention of military troops.
The terrorists were said to have ventured out in search of food following the continued onslaught on them by security operatives.
A press release by the Joint Information Centre of the Counter-terrorism campaign noted on Tuesday, April8, 2014 that a distress call by residents had alerted the troops of the multi-national task force on patrol.
The heavily-armed terrorists, on sensing the approach of the troops, scampered to safety without carrying out their evil mission, leaving some arms and ammunition behind.
Military troops have continued a cordon and search of the area with a view to apprehending any terrorist that could still be lurking around.
Meanwhile, the assault on terrorists’ enclaves in Sambisa forests and surrounding locations is continuing. Operational activities also continue around Wala, Gwoza, Pulka and environs have been intensified.
