Following credible information from the locals about the presence of terrorists at Gworege village in Dikwa Local Government Area of Borno State, troops of 22 Brigade/Super Camp Dikwa in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force, Local Vigilantes and Hunters, conducted a successful raid and clearance operations to Gworege community to clear the village of the crouching terrorists reportedly hibernating in the area.

According to Colonel Sagir Musa, Acting Director Army Public Relations, the terrorists engaged the troops in a fire fight but had to flee as a result of superior fire power from the troops. Consequently, troops cordoned and searched the village and recovered 6 AK-47 rifles and 66 7.62mm ammunition.

He said that no soldier was killed, wounded or missing in action. But unfortunately, a hunter was reportedly wounded and he is receiving treatment at the 22 Brigade Medical Centre in Dikwa. He has been stabilized and is fast recovering.

The Army spokesman said that many terrorists reportedly met their waterloo during the encounter, while others escaped with various degrees of injuries.
