Nigerian Army troops of Sector 2, Operation Hadin Kai, have vanquished 4 ISWAP terrorists and rescued some abducted passengers in Buni Yadi, Yobe state. Zagazola Makama reports.
The remaining two hijacked vehicles were however not found at the scene of the encounter but tracks of moving vehicles were observed heading towards Meleri community near Goniri village.
The team followed up again on the track until they arrived at Meleri village where they were reliably informed that they sighted two other vehicles, a golf and a Honda car believed to have escaped with their passengers from the scene of the troops earlier encounter with the terrorists at Lamisuri village.
It was further gathered that one of the vehicles headed towards Buni Yadi while the other went towards Damaturu going through Katarko village.
The military sources said it was intensifying efforts to track the fleeing terrorists and rescue the rest of their victims.
