“Nigerian troops have this morning successfully completed a raid on all
terrorist camps in Alagarno in Borno State. Alagarno is the major haven
of terrorists ahead of Sambisa forest.
A number of weapons and equipment were captured during the operation.
Items captured from the terrorists included Armored vehicles, several
arms and ammunitions of various sizes and caliber, power generating
sets, grenades and Improvised Explosives Devices (IEDs), bows and
arrows, megaphones and rolls of copper cable which the terrorists used
as one of the materials to make IEDs.
Cordon and search as well as mop up of the community is still on going
to make the environment safe for displaced locals to return.
Aside being one of the strongholds of terrorists in the State, Alagarno
also provided routes used by the terrorists to neighboring towns and
countries. The thick forest in the area had made it a safe haven for the
terrorists for a long time as the terrain was not easily accessible and
it was endowed with natural hideouts from aerial bombardments.”
