Troops of the 21 Armoured Brigade Bama killed four Boko Haram terrorists after invading an illegal insurgents market in the outskirt of Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.
The incident happened on Monday when the troops contacted the terrorists at an illegal market in Dambia, also known as Markas while conducting clearance operations.
Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad, said sources disclosed that the terrorists, on sighting the troops, opened fire, but the troops subdued them.
He said, “In the fierce encounter, four BH/ISWAP terrorists were instantly neutralized, while others, bowing to superior firepower, retreated and ran to the forest.”
The sources said that four women suspected to be wives of the terrorists were wounded during the crossfire and were taken to Bama General Hospital for treatment.
Recall that eight repentant Boko Haram terrorists were killed and one injured by an undetonated Improvised Explosive Device (IED), during scrap metals business in the market.
The insurgents from the Gazuwa camp continue to supply of food items, like maize, beans, salt, Maggi and other non-food items like clothing, petrol and drugs from collaborators.
