In another development, troops on patrol yesterday located
260 women and children in the outskirts of Chalawa village in Adamawa state
where they had been held up while trying to escape from terrorists. They have
now been conveyed back to their various communities in Madagali after
undergoing the normal security profiling.
Some of them disclosed that they had to abandon their homes
to escape from the terrorists when Madagali came under their attack, while
others were actually abducted and taken there. The terrorists were however
sacked from the Madagali recently.
A number of terrorists however died in an encounter with
troops who caught up with them as they fled prior to the recovery of the women
and children. Some of the terrorists still managed to escape with varying
degrees of gunshot wounds. Others who were captured are now being interrogated
by intelligence officers.
A machine gun, some rounds of ammunition, as well as some
motorcycles and bicycles were also captured from the terrorists. A member of
the vigilante group serving as guide to the troops was however wounded.
Meanwhile the operation in Sambisa forest is continuing as
troops are methodically searching every aspect of the expansive terrain.
