The military said yesterday that it had succeeded in clearing terrorists out of Madagali, the last major town held by Boko Haram terrorists in Adamawa State.
The Director Defence Information, Major Gen. Chris Olukolade, who is on a tour of mission areas in the NorthEast, announced this in a statement.
He said there were no casualties on the side of the troops which included the Army, the Airforce and other security agencies.
He said mop-up operation was ongoing in the town.
Col. Sani Usman, Acting Director, Army Public Relations, said troops from 33 Brigade cleared the area of terrorists in an operation which started last weekend.
“Quite a number of terrorists were killed, their weapons and equipment destroyed. Similarly, a sizeable number of arms, ammunitions, food stuffs, Hilux vehicles, motorcycles and Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) were recovered by the troops,” he said.
