Troops of the 21 Armoured Brigade have destroyed a Boko Haram market in Bama Local Council of Borno State.

The troop also invaded and destroyed another market, known as ‘Daula’, and killed six terrorists manning it.

Counter-insurgency expert in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, stated, yesterday, in Maiduguri: “Troops, in collaboration with the Civilian JTF, stormed an illegal market at Bararam village,” adding that the insurgents were trading in food items, including maize, beans, salt, seasoning cubes, and used clothes. Other wares traded in the market comprise drugs and petrol.

“Upon the sighting of troops, the terrorists opened rapid fire,” he said, but they were swiftly engaged and neutralized.

He said that the troops also arrested Boko Haram logistics suppliers and collaborators and recovered some weapons.

The suspects, The Guardian learned, have been handed over to the Brigade headquarters in Bama for investigation.

Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, yesterday, donated 39 vehicles to security agencies and traditional rulers.

While handing over the vehicles, the governor said the gesture was to enable security agencies to carry out routine operations in the state.

Sule said the state was recently notified of a possible attack by bandits, but the government acted on the information and shut down public schools across the state to curtail attacks.
