Chukwu explained that the army discovered the terrorists’ bases in Yabiri Kote and Bula Dadode areas of the state from where they launched attacks on villages in Cameroon and Nigeria.

He, however, stated that troops were able to recover some items during the joint trans-border operations including three AK-47 rifles, two Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Shells, One primed Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Belt.

Others are two motorcycles, Eight bicycles, Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Vest and One Boko Haram flag.

The army’s spokesman also appealed to members of the public to report any suspicious movements or activities to the law enforcement agents for prompt action.
