Colonel Musa said the raid was carried out following credible information received from well meaning Nigerians about the presence of terrorists at Gworege village.
“The terrorists engaged the troops in a fire fight but had to flee as a result of superior fire power from the troops.
“Consequently, troops cordoned and searched the village and recovered the following: Six AK 47 Rifles and Sixty-six 7.62 MM ammunition.
“No soldier was killed, wounded or missing in action. Unfortunately, a hunter was wounded, is receiving treatment at the 22 Brigade medical Centre in Dikwa, he has been stabilized and is fast recovering,” Colonel Sagir stated.
