Similarly, on the same day, at about 2300 hours, troops deployed at Gulak responded to a distress call from Kubu village in Shani Local Government Area of Borno State on the nefarious activities of terrorists - criminals operating in the village.

On getting close to the area, the bandits engaged the troops with sporadic firing. In the process, the following incidences were recorded;

A BHT was deleted and 1 AK 47 rifle was recovered. No lost of life or casualty on the part of the Nigerian Army.
