“A quick exploitation of the phones has so far given important leads on a number of local AS facilitation network.”
The intelligence-led mission took the militants by surprise as they attempted to reportedly establish a temporary camp in the Fafi.
The successful outcome of the operation is attributed to the cooperation and timely information provided by local residents, for which the SOG officers expressed gratitude.
