It has been reported that the Joint Task Force in Borno has killed 50
suspected terrorists in Zabarmari Ward of Jere Local Government Area
of Borno State, Maiduguri metropolis.
Concerning the killings, a security source said:-
"Over the weekend, we received an intelligence report that several
Boko Haram terrorists have regrouped and were residing or hiding in
Zabarmari Ward. We then mobilized our troops to the area, and on
reaching the place, the suspected terrorists upon noticingour
presence, began to shout 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is Great) and started
shooting at the JTF troops.
We had no option than to repel the attacks while we succeeded
inkilling about 10 of the suspects.
"We decided not to take away anyof their corpses as we left them inthe
area, but the following day when we mobilized our men to the area, we
found out that hundreds of the terrorists were atone of the grave
yards burying their dead members, and when we approached, some of them
started shooting at our troops which led to the exchange of gun fire.
We succeeded in killing over 40 of them.
"As I am talking to you now, our men are still in Zabarmari hunting
for any suspected terrorists who might have escaped the deadly
encounter
