The statement said: “The troops cleared all the four camps located
within the area that includes Faldan, Kidiziromari, Kuroshini,
Kurumari and Ngulda. One Boko Haram terrorist was killed, while trying
to escape and about 31 persons were rescued from the terrorists.

“The troops discovered stockpile of farm produce in metal drums, sacks
and underground storage facilities. Other items recovered included
several bicycles and motorcycles.

“Some of the farmlands yet to be harvested were also set ablaze by the
terrorists; a wooden rifle used for training and practice by the
terrorists was also retrieved.”
