Soldiers said the woman who was picked amongst some of the terrorists that were arrested after a heavy gun battle that left many others dead, may have made revelation that could help soldiers net in top leaders of the insurgents that have so far caused the death of over 200, 000 people in the last three years.

In a related development, and in the efforts to continually dominate recovered territories and clear all Nigerian territory of Boko Haram vestiges, the advancing troops o troops of 28 Task Force Brigade on patrol between Bitta – Yamteke in Borno State to block Boko Haram terrorists fleeing from Lagaran Fulani to enter sambisa forest, discovered 2 planted Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and successfully detonated them.
