Troops kill 3 insurgents, recover cache of arms in Gwoza

Troops of Special Response Area (SRA) Pulka under the Nigerian Army Super Camp Gwoza have killed three insurgents and recover several arms an ammunition in a ambush.

The ambush which was done in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force followed credible information from some patriotic Nigerians about terrorists movement along Banki Road Junction, Pulka in Gwoza.

Consequently, two AK 47 Rifles and two motor cycles were recovered while several terrorists were reportedly wounded during the ambush.

Similarly, at about 10:50pm on 3rd October 2019, in what seems like a repraisal attack to avenge the lost of their members in the ambush conducted by the troops, some marauders/criminals woefully attacked the Delta Company Location of the SRA at Pulka.

Consequently, troops swiftly responded by effectively repelling the attack killing a bandit while an Ak 47 rifle was recovered with no casualty recorded by the Civilian JTF or the troops.

Following the development, the Acting General Officer Commanding 7 Division and Commander Sector 1 Operation LAFIYA DOLE Brigadier General AK Ibrahim was in SRA Pulka where he interacted with the troops, commended them for the successes so far and urged them to remain committed and unwavering in the struggle to end the insurgency soon.
