Biu in
Borno State was a theatre of war on Wednesday morning as members of the Boko
Haram terrorist group marched on the town. They were however given battle by
security forces and some courageous men of the Civilian JTF who rose up to the
occasion.
Residents
disclosed that dozens of the insurgents fell to the firepower of the military
and they were forced into a retreat. The Anchor Online’s investigation revealed
that the operation was boosted by aerial cover provided for the troops by Air
Force jets.
While
confirming the foiled attack on Biu, a message from the Defence Headquarters
read ” Terrorist attack repelled by the Military in Biu, Borno State.
Two Anti-Aircraft Guns have been captured from the Terrorists.
Troops in
pursuit of fleeing terrorists as Mopping up operation is ongoing. Five (5)
terrorists have so far been captured.”
