The Nigerian Army has successfully carried out a special clearance operation in the Sambisa Forest, resulting in the elimination of 11 terrorists belonging to the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP). The operation, conducted in coordination with a hybrid force, targeted the terrorists' enclave in Jongo Village within the notorious Sambisa Forest.
During the operation, the troops engaged the terrorists in a fierce gun battle, leading to the death of some terrorists, while others fled in disarray. The Nigerian Army further conducted exploitation ahead of the enclave, resulting in the capture of various arms and ammunition. The recovered items include 99 rounds of 7.62 x 54mm ammunition on a metal link, 19 rounds of 7.62 x 39mm ammunition, 3 AK-47 rifle magazines, 2 hand grenades, and 2 locally made guns.
This successful operation demonstrates the operational effectiveness of the Nigerian Army in combating terrorism and securing the region. The neutralization of the ISWAP terrorists and the confiscation of their weapons will contribute to enhancing security and stability in the area. It also underscores the commitment of the Nigerian military to eradicating terrorism and protecting the citizens.
The Sambisa Forest has been a notorious stronghold for terrorist groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP. The Nigerian Army's efforts to clear the forest and eliminate terrorist elements are crucial in maintaining peace and security in the region.
