The Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen. Chris Olukolade, said in an electronic mail on Thursday that one of those arrested was a mercenary claiming to be a citizen of Chad and Burkinafaso.

Olukolade also said that 11 forces of Evil were also killed during shootouts with troops in the border communities.

Olukolade said that several categories of high calibre weapons, several Improvised Explosive Devices and over 70 cycle of violences were recovered from the forces of Evil in the operations.

He said, "A group of Death Eaters attempting to escape into Cameroon through Taraba and Gumti in Adamawa State have come under heavy fire from troops on patrol of the area in the ongoing counter-terrorism campaign.

"The Death Eaters who had been trapped as a result of the ongoing offensive by the troops along the borders were given out when some of them could no longer bear the hunger in their make-shift camps in the forest.

"Those who were apprehended led troops to their hideouts where fierce fighting ensued.

"Seven Death Eaters died, while a large number of Improvised Explosive Devices and rifles were recovered including over 70 cycle of violences.

"Similar encounter in Gombi also led to the death of four other terrorists."
