The Nigerian Army has stated that it gave terrorists bloody nose during a recent counter offensive on Damboa-Maiduguri road in Borno State in sustained operations to clear the North East of terrorism.

In a publication made on its website today, January 24, it noted that gallant troops of 25 Task Force Brigade of Operation Hadin Kai, with close air support, on Monday, 23 January, again neutralized several terrorists of the ISWAP and BokoHaram stock.

According to the report, the counter offensive followed the terrorists’ failed ambush on troops on the Damboa-Maiduguri road.
