Troops of 120 Battalion deployed in operation LAFIYA DOLE have successfully foiled an attempt by Boko Haram insurgents to attack one of their locations at Katarko, in Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State following a tip-off.
The troops immediately swung into action and were able to push the terrorists backward following a superior firepower of the troops.
However, some members of the terrorist group escaped into nearby bushes and efforts are on by troops to get the fleeing members of the group.
Meanwhile, the situation has been brought under control by the troops who are currently embarking on clearance patrol.
Residents of Yobe State in general and Katarko, in particular, are advised to go about their legitimate businesses and to report any suspicious activities or movement in their area to the law enforcement agents for prompt action.
