The war against radical Islamist sect – Boko Haram – in Borno State
recorded a major success on Wednesday as more than 40 suspected members
of the sect were killed in a Military raid involving air strikes and
ground assault by troops of the 7 Division, Nigerian Army in Bita
village area, along Damboa-Gwoza road.
It would be recalled that almost a fortnight ago, over 20 suspected
terrorists were reportedly killed by the troops of the 7 Division in
Bita village, while several others escaped when the military launched an
offensive on one of the Boko Haram hideouts in the area, as confirmed
to reporters by the Spokesman of the Division, Colonel Mohammed Dole.
Bita, which is considered one of the strongholds of the terrorists, is located 32 kilometres west of Gwoza
