Troops of 152 Task Force Battalion in conjunction with the Air Component of Operation  HADIN KAI on Sunday, 27 June,  2021 dealt a devastating blow on marauding  Boko Haram ( BHT)  and Islamic State  West Africa Province (ISWAP)  while attempting to infiltrate the Forward Operational Base at Bula Yobe in Borno State.


The terrorists, who came  mounted on  Gun trucks and several motorcycles  attacked the location via an unsuspected crossing point, but were met with heavy volume of fire from the vigilant troops. The Land troops, in their usual  dexterity  swiftly and decisively engaged the terrorists, subsequently forcing them to retreat, having lost initiative. 

 

The troops sustained the fire fight and successfully neutralised 12  terrorists, with several others fleeing with gun shot wounds. The troops gallantly captured one Gun Truck, one Self Propelled Gun-9, one Dushika  Gun and one  mounted QJC Machine Gun. Other items captured are one Light Machine Gun and five AK 47 Rifles. 


Sadly, during the encounter two soldiers paid the supreme sacrifice, while five others sustained varying degrees  of injury and have been evacuated by the Air component of OPHK to a medical facility, where they are currently receiving medical attention.

 

The general area within FOB Bula Yobe is cool and calm under the control of  troops of the battalion. Further exploitation by the resilient troops is ongoing . 


The Chief of Army Staff, Major General Faruk Yahaya has lauded the Land troops and the Air Component for their synergy and quick response, which is in tandem with the ongoing rejigging of the counter terrorism counter insurgency operations in the North East. He charged the troops to maintain the tempo and vehemently hold their ground, to deny the terrorists  freedom of action.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
