Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, said the operation was conducted by troops of Operation Lake Sanity III and Operation Hadin Kai.
The publication said the troops killed six of the turbans during a patrol of the hideouts of Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...bad boys.
The troops conducted the operation in collaboration with operatives of the Hybrid force and CJTF on July 12.
An intelligence source told Makama that some of the turbans escaped with gunshot injuries.
The publication said the rescued victims are 20 adult females and 37 children.
Makama added that the troops recovered one Dane gun and destroyed all life support structures at the enclave.
Recently, troops killed 14 button men during a raid on the hideouts of Boko Haram turbans in Sambisa forest.
