Other items include one RPG 7 bomb, 116 rounds of 7.62mm NATO and two hand grenades from the terrorists.
Onyeuko, in a statement said, “Troops of Operation Fire Ball under Operation Lafiya Dole has continued to decimate members of the Boko Haram/Islamic State of West Province (ISWAP) in order to clear the remnants of the terrorists from the theatre.
“Consequently, on October 25, 2020, in what could appear to be a suicide journey, the BokoHaram/Islamic State of West African Province attacked the well fortified Army Super Camp, Damboa under 25 Brigade in Sector 2.
“The terrorists met their waterloo as they were pounded with superior fire power and additional fire support from the Air Task Force. The criminals withdrew in rout as they could not withstand the well organised and determined soldiers during the encounter.
