Boko Haram Militants Killed in Sambisa Forest Raid

Troops from the 7th Division and Sector 1, Operation Hadin Kai, alongside Hybrid Force and Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), conducted a fighting patrol in Sambisa Forest, Borno State, on Monday, August 12, resulting in the deaths of five Boko Haram militants.

The raid targeted terrorist enclaves in Kashomiri, Sharori, Kalmari, and Mantari villages in the Geizuwa terror cluster, Bama county (Local Government Area). During the engagement, the troops killed five insurgents, while others fled the scene. The forces also seized three locally made guns and six motorcycles, which are currently in custody for further investigation.

The CJTF is a local self-defense force formed in 2013 to protect communities against attacks by Boko Haram. Nigeria’s Borno State government provides financial and in-kind support to the CJTF, while Nigeria’s armed forces work with the group to coordinate military operations against Boko Haram.
