Troops of 22 Brigade deployed in Operation LAFIYA DOLE have reunited children abducted two years ago by Boko Haram terrorists with their parents at Ngafure village in Dikwa Local Government Area of Borno State.

The troops rescued the hostages, two boys and two girls, during a clearance operation at Maima village in Ngala Local Government Area of the State.

A 36 hand grenade was also recovered during the operation.

The rescued hostages are currently receiving medical attention at the military health facilities.

The Nigerian Army in its statement restated its commitment in rescuing all the hostages held by the Boko Haram terrorists .

Meanwhile, the Council of Ulamas Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) Nigeria Zone B Maiduguri, has called on Nigerians to support the Nigerian Army’s efforts in combating terrorism in the North-east and other security challenges across the country.

The National Secretary, Council of Ulamas, Ali Mustapha, made the pledge in Maiduguri when he led members of the Council on a courtesy visit to the Acting General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 Division, Brigadier General Abdulmalik Biu in his office.

He promised to provide vital information, education as well as preaching good ideals to all true Muslim faithful and other peace loving Nigerians at all times.

He also stated that the council was in his office to show solidarity to him, officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army for their focused and commitment towards ensuring security of lives and property in Borno State.

The scribe assured the troops of prayers in all their engagements, adding that continuous prayers will be offered for restoration of peace, security and stability in Borno State and the entire nation.

The council requested the Acting GOC to convey their profound gratitude to the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, for his untiring efforts in the fight against Boko Haram Terrorists and commended the Army leadership for providing an open platform where all critical stakeholders can contribute in the fight to end the insurgency in the North East.

Responding, the Acting GOC, Bulama Biu, thanked the council for the visit and their prayers.
