Troops of Operation Lafiya Dole have arrested suspected Boko Haram informant Modu Ari whose spying activities and that of his accomplices were responsible for the attacks on troops position by terrorists in Kamuya, Yobe State.
The informant was apprehended by troops of 27 Task Force Bridge, confessed to have revealed troops’ movements and position to the Boko Haram collaborators.
The unfortunate sabotage of troops’ movement by Ari and his accomplices made it possible for the terrorists to attack the rear element of troops on patrol.
Though the attack was swiftly repelled by troops from the Tactical Headquarters of
27 Task Force Brigade and Army Super Camp 3 Buratai, own troops suffered some casualties.
An investigation is however ongoing to unravel the network of local informants whose nefarious activities have endangered troops on clearance operations around the fringes of Timbuktu Triangle.
The Chief of Army Staff has encouraged troops of “Operation Tura Takaibango” to keep their fighting spirit up and to remain dedicated in the effort to flush out the remnants of the terrorists as quickly as possible.
He charged them not to relent even in the face of gross unpatriotic acts of some locals who are snitching on their movements and positions.
He also admonished citizens to, as a matter of patriotic duty, avail the troops of credible and timely information that will help them flush out the adversaries.
