Acting Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 82 Division, Enugu, Lt.-Col.

“During the clearance operations, the troops encountered various types of obstacles and detonated many Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
The troops came in contact with terrorists who fled into nearby bushes with gunshot wounds due to superior fire power. Several camps and shrines of the terrorists were also destroyed,’’ Unuakhalu stated.
