Troops Find Boko Haram Corpses Under Ground

Counter-insurgency troops said they had recovered corpses of Boko Haram members shabbily buried under ground.

An army statement said the discovery was made by troops from 119 Task Force Battalion of 7 Brigade Nigerian Army while on mop up and clearance patrol on Monday.

The army believe the graves were of boko haram members who escaped with gun shot wounds and died, after an January encounter with the troops.

“Similarly, the troops recovered a 36 Hand Grenade and one 12.7 X 108mm round of ammunition concealed by the terrorists.

“The troops have continued their patrols by dominating the general area of Baga, Kangarwa and Dogonchikun with a view to intercepting fleeing Boko Haram terrorists”.
