Scores Of ISWAP Terrorists Blocking Maiduguri-Damaturu Road Reportedly Neutralised

Scores of suspected members of the Islamic State of West Africa (ISWAP) terrorist group have been neutralised by the Nigerian military after they blocked the Maiduguri-Damaturu road wreaking havoc on commuters on Thursday.
It took massive air support from the Nigeria Airforce to neutralise the terrorists who fled the scene where they took siege of Lawan Mainari village about 30 km from Mainoc.
“Three guntrucks were recovered from a location at about twenty kilometres away from the scene of incident, after they tried to escape on sighting backup troops advance,” said a source within the Rapid Response Squad involved in patrolling the 130 km expressway.

Sources present at the scene told DAILY POST that, “about five abducted commuters were later released by the insurgents after a hot chase by the combined team of the Airforce and the troops on the ground.
“They were abducted because they could not escape like some national youth service corps members coming in from Damaturu who escaped into the Savannah on sighting the criminals only to resurface after the presence of military backups on the road.”
Reliable military sources told DAILY POST that “Two trailers and one truck were burnt by the insurgents but the military also destroyed three vehicles belonging to the terrorists killed.
“Many of them were eliminated, with troops still chasing those hours after they escaped from the roadblock yesterday. They actually gained entrance to the main road by filling the trenches around unknown to the residents. Actually, no civilian vehicle was burnt in the criminal act of the insurgents.
“The vehicles were stopped indeed and there was no movement from about midmorning due to fear. The road was blocked during the encounter and then later reopened by troops who were there in time with the theatre commander Major General Chris Musa. 3 Gun trucks were recovered with lots of weapons. One of the gun trucks was destroyed completely because they came with 4 gun trucks to try our will power.”
Damaturu-Maiduguri road has been relatively peaceful for some time now except for a few hit-and-run cases which the insurgents have been perpetuating occasionally to gain relevance.
Last month ISWAP targeted a truckload of mobile policemen deployed from Port Harcourt into the theatre but were disappointed in their ploy because the policemen fought and freed themselves from the ambush laid down for them.

Commissioner of Police, Abdu Umar while chatting with newsmen however regretted that while the group coming in from Biu landed safely with all their men, he lost three policemen in the team that took the Damaturu-Maiduguri road to base.
ISWAP had since claimed responsibility for the attack even as the three policemen that died in the ambush have since been buried.
