It was gathered that the terrorists met a humiliating defeat when they launched a failed ambush in a convoy of attack in komala village along the road from Damboa to Maiduguri.
An Intelligence Source informed Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad that the insurgents on Hilux trucks, MRAP and motorcycles, attacked the troops who were on fighting patrol.
The sources said that the troops swiftly responded with a overwhelming gun fire.
He said that efforts of the Air Task Force and the ground troops led to the elimination of several of the insurgents while others escaped with degrees of bullet wounds.
“We also succeeded in collecting one Gun truck, MRAP as well as three 3 motorcycles from the terrorists. ISWAP terrorists have continued to suffer humiliating defeat in the hands of our troops. On January 13, the troops killed several of the terrorists and destroyed their MRAP when they attacked own troops in Azir”.
