The raid followed attacks in the past days, believed to be by the Islamist sect, which killed 36 fishermen in
Mukdolo under Ngala Local Government bordering Dikwa village on March 10 2023.
The armed terrorists headed by Abu Darda and Abu Muhammed, also stormed Mafa town in the early morning hours of March 19th, a few hours after the elections, but the attack was thwarted by the troops, resulting in the killing of scores of the terrorists and recovery of two of their guntrucks.
Consequently, upon the major offensive, military equipment including one guntruck, three Dushka, motorcycles, and several other weapons were recovered from the bursted terrorists base.
The terrorist Commander, (Amir Jaysh) Abu Mohammed, in company of few fighters reportedly fled in disarray due to the superior fire power from the soldiers, thus abandoning their properties worth millions of Naira in the terrorists’ house which were destroyed by the troops.
