suburbs of Baga Borno State . The military intelligence had been trailing him
till he was eventually trapped in the early hours of Sunday. He is presently
undergoing  interrogation.

In another development, troops on
patrol yesterday located 260  women and
children in the outskirts of  Chalawa
village in  Adamawa state where they had
been  held up while trying to escape from  terrorists. They have now been conveyed
back  to their various  communities 
in   Madagali after undergoing the
normal security profiling.

Some of them disclosed  that they had to abandon their homes to
escape from the terrorists when  Madagali
came  under  attack, while others were actually abducted.
. The terrorists were however sacked from the Madagali  recently.

A number of terrorists died in an
encounter with with troops who caught up with them as they fled  prior to the recovery of the women and
children. Some of the terrorists still managed to escape with varying degrees
of gun shot wounds. Others who were captured are now being interrogated by
intelligence officers.

A machine gun, some rounds of
ammunition, as well as some motorcycles and bicycles were also captured from
the terrorists. A member of the vigilante group serving as ģuide to the troops
was however wounded.

Meanwhile  the operation in Sambisa forest is continuing
as troops are methodically  searching
every aspect of the expansive  terrain.
