Troops Arrest 6 Female Boko Haram Terrorists, Kill 13 Others
Troops of the 8 Task Force Division of the Nigerian Army have arrested six female and four male Boko Haram terrorists in Monguno and Nolwodo Malgori areas of Borno State, after a tip-off.
It was learnt that the 242 Battalion apprehended the suspects, who were
also believed to be Boko Haram members on Saturday. Foodstuffs and a sum
of N63,000 were reportedly recovered from them.
This is just as the troops engaged fleeing Boko Haram terrorists in
three villages along the Lake Chad, Borno State, during which they shot
dead 13 insurgents and recovered some rounds of ammunition.
According to the army, the terrorists had a gun battle with troops in
Chikun Gudu, Tumbuma Karami and Tumbuma Baba areas of the Lake Chad,
during which they were shot dead, while others escaped with bullet
injuries.
The Deputy Director, Army Public Relations and 8 Division Spokesman,
Col. Timothy Antigha, said, “We rounded up 10 suspected Boko Haram
smugglers, six females and four males. We recovered household items,
foodstuffs and N63,060 cash from the suspects. They are being profiled
to determine their involvement in the Boko Haram insurgency.

gunshot wounds.
“We recovered three AK-47 rifles, assorted magazines and 306 rounds of
