The Nigerian Army has confirmed the killing of Brigadier-General Dzarma Zirkushu, the commander of 28 Task Force Brigade, Chibok.
The terrorists killed the general, alongside three other soldiers, while on their way to reinforce troops at Bungulwa village, near Askira Uba.
A statement by the Nigerian Army spokesman, Onyeama Nwachukwu, said the troops successfully defended their location and destroyed ISWAP equipment during the battle.
“Troops of Joint Task Force, North East Operation HADIN KAI have neutralized several Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP terrorists during a recent encounter in Askira Uba Local Government Area of Borno State.
“In the fierce encounter which is still raging as at the time of filing this report, troops supported by the Air Component of OPHK have destroyed five A-Jet, two A-29, two Dragon combat vehicles and nine Gun Trucks.
“Sadly, a gallant senior officer Brigadier General Dzarma Zirkusu and three soldiers paid the supreme sacrifice in a very rare display of gallantry as they provided reinforcement in a counter offensive against the terrorists, and successfully defended the location.
“The family of the senior officer and soldiers have been contacted.
“The Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya deeply commiserates with the families and relations of the fallen heroes. He has also directed that the troops continue in the ferocious counter offensive and hot pursuit to eliminate the remnant of the fleeing terrorists,” the statement said.

ReplyDeletePlease, take just a minute to read the post.
DeleteDid you read through at all?
DeleteI think you should read through again and this time, SLOWLY
DeleteIt's one of the good guys that was killed, not the bad guy. Read it again
DeleteRead it again but slowly this time because it seems like you did not understand who was killed.
DeleteThe General that was killed, was not an ISWAP fighter.
PLEASE, read to understand. It is a general in the Nigerian army who was unfortunately killed although the army also killed many terrorists to defend their base.
DeleteThis General died in action protecting you and I. Others are still at the warfront under a hail of bullets as we speak. Let us show some humanity.
RIP
Delete21.39 well said. I pray for protection for all those at the front, in Jesus name Amen.
DeleteOh no😢😢😢😢 May their souls rest in perfect peace.
ReplyDeleteAdieu soldier.
ReplyDelete*NA Send GOC (not in their good book) to the ISWAP position battlefront*
NA: "he is coming with his boys, following A and B routes by this time, so do your work boys"
NA: confirms that GOC has been killed
Who is killing who and who is fooling who? 😏😏😏😏😏😏
Condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers.
ReplyDeleteWent to check. It appears A-Jet and A-29 in the statement means military jet planes. So ISWAP are using planes and amoured vehicles against Nigerian army. Pray, can anybody tell why ISWAP is still being called terrorists?
May his soul rest in peace. lord console his loved ones and make his generation great for this sacrifice. Amen
ReplyDeleteGOD please Nigeria is in Your hands
ReplyDeleteMove and destroy the structures of the evil in the land in Jesus Christ name Amen
Adieu to the departed gallant soldier.
ReplyDeleteSo ISWAP Jihadists how has 5-A jets and 2-A29," given to them by who and landed in which airports? That is 7 fighter aircrafts we are talking about here? And those are only the destroyed ones, how about the ones that were not destroyed?
Nigerian army should complete these stories because it isn't adding up.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Nwachukwu mentioned that the troops supported by the Air Component of OPHK deployed five A - Jet, two A-29, two Dragon combat with which they destroyed nine Gun Trucks and One APC during th clash.
