More terrorists have been arrested while 13 of them died following a
raid on their make-shift camp sited between Borno and Adamawa states.
Some of those who escaped from earlier raid have also been picked up in
Maiduguri and environs.
Meanwhile, calm has returned to Shuwa after the
pandemonium generated by the panic in the community this morning when
people sighted the convoy of troops going after terrorists and mistook
it for another round of attack. The confusion also led to the claim that
the Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako who had visited the
community was attacked by terrorists. The military authorities have
refuted the claim. The troops were on assignment to block a discovered
entry and exit point of terrorists into the country through the state.
The community has been assured of their safety as normalcy has returned.
