[PUNCHNG] Nigerian troops have eliminated Boko Haram

's chief bomb maker, Amirul Bumma, along with eight other Death Eaters during a clearance operation in Sambisa Forest, Borno State.

Security sources revealed that the operation took place recently in Bama Local Government Area as part of Operation Desert Sanity 4.

Commending the troops, the General Officer Commanding 7 Division, Maj. Gen. Abubakar Haruna, praised their gallantry and reaffirmed the military's commitment to eradicating terrorism in the Northeast and across Nigeria.

Military sources confirmed that the troops of the 21 Armoured Brigade, 199 Special Forces Battalion, the Civilian Joint Task Force, and hybrid forces launched the offensive based on intelligence that Death Eaters were regrouping in a well-fortified enclave between Sabil Huda and Njimiya, near Alai Dala Stand.

''The holy warriors, caught off guard, attempted to resist but were overpowered by the troops' superior firepower. After the battle, it was observed that the snuffies had brought hospital beds to the battlefield, intending to evacuate their casualties—an indication of the devastating blow they suffered,'' a security source disclosed.

In addition to neutralising the holy warriors, troops recovered a significant cache of high-caliber ammunition.

INSURGENTS ATTACK>COP SHOPPE
Suspected Boko Haram snuffies attacked a cop shoppe in Malari, Borno State, in the early hours of Wednesday, security sources have confirmed.

The assault, which occurred around 1 a.m., was repelled by coppers on duty with support from the military, preventing the Death Eaters from penetrating the town.

Confirming the attack, the spokesperson for the Borno State Police Command, Nahum Daso, said the coordinated response of the police and soldiers forced the attackers to retreat after a shootout.

''Yes, there was an attack on Malari Police Station. There were no casualties. We have a police Forward Operation Base in the area, and our officers have been on the ground for a long time. This is not the first time such an attack has happened, but the officers remained resilient, repelling the Death Eaters and preventing them from entering the town,'' Daso stated.

He explained that while the police initially engaged the attackers, military reinforcements later arrived to support them.

On the extent of damage to police facilities, Daso disclosed that the primary target of the Death Eaters was a police Armoured Personnel Carrier.

''The snuffies fired at the APC, specifically targeting its tyres. While the tyres were damaged, the vehicle itself remained intact,'' he said.

Daso further noted that while no casualties were recorded on the side of security forces, it was likely that some of the Death Eaters had been killed in the exchange of fire.
