“The patrol team of 157 Task Force Battalion, 7 Brigade, ambushed and killed a Boko Haram spy on Monday at Barwati village, Kukawa Local Government Area," army spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman said.
The spy was sent on a mission to infiltrate the troops’ position.
According to Usman, he was killed while trying to gain entry into military location.
"The team recovered 1 AK-47 rifle, 59 rounds of 7.62mm (Special) ammunition, one 40mm x 46mm BGL2 grenade, 1 bandolier and 3 AK-47 rifle magazines from him.
"Troops have intensified vigilance and high level of alertness as they continued with efforts of clearing the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists in their Area of Responsibility,” the statement said.
Security agencies have warned muslims to be vigilant and be on high alert at mosques and large gatherings in celebration of the Ramadan Kareem, as the terrorists might try to take advantage of the festive period.
