Soldiers of the 25 Task Battalion yesterday staged a special
operation that led to the recapture of the seized Danboa town in Borno..
The 25 Task Battalion was recently deployed to specially tackle
the insurgents and recapture Damboa weeks after the insurgents had attacked the
military base there, killed its commander and about a dozen other security
personnel, as well as sacked the residents.
LEADERSHIP was reliably informed by a top security person in
Maiduguri that the task force brigade “has today recaptured Damboa and sent
some of the insurgents fleeing while some other members of the Boko Haram died
in the hours of shootout”.
According to the source, the operation was facilitated by
the Nigeria Air Force Alpha-Jet and the ground troop artillery.
It was also gathered that more troops are being deployed
into the hinterlands of Damboa for clearing patrol.
Damboa was last month sacked and over 5,000 residents of the
agrarian town were forced to flee to Gombe and Biu towns where they are
presently being camped.
