The enclaves and villages cleared by the CT include Ngurusoye, Sabon Gari, Mairamri 1 and 2, Bula Dalo, and Bula Dalo extension. Other areas also cleared are Yamanci and Gargaji general areas. Items recovered are one terrorists' flag, a mobile phone belonging to the terrorists. The rescued victims are in custody for preliminary investigation and profiling.
