of those operating around the Alagarmo area, has sparked-off a major
firefight on the outskirts of Bulanbuli, in the Borno State last night.

In addition, Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) materials, SIM Cards, and other electronic items were also recovered.

Others still being trailed include, a terrorist medic who was on a
mission to procure drugs for use by his colleagues.
The Major General added, "Bulanbuli is between Alagarmo, and the Sambisa Forest where the terrorists have been attempting to establish a stronghold in their campaign."
