According to a statement signed by Army spokesman Col Sani Usman, the troops are continuing with the clearing operations in other adjoining areas.
"In furtherance of efforts to make the North East safe and secure from the nefarious and criminal activities of the remnants of Boko Haram terrorists, troops of newly inducted 3 Battalion, 22 Brigade, in conjunction with Army Headquarters Strike Group (AHQ SG) and the Armed Forces Special Forces (AFSF), carried out a spectacular clearance operation on Tuesday, 22nd March 2016.

"In a related development, troops of 3 Battalion with the support of Civilian JTF also conducted a fighting patrol at Kusumma village in which they killed 3 Boko Haram terrorists and captured one alive.

A single register of poor and vulnerable Nigerians was on Thursday launched by the Federal Government in Abuja.
The register which aims at reducing extreme poverty in the country was launched by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the end of a three-day Social Protection Cross-Learning Conference in Abuja.
Osinbajo who was represented by Mrs Maryam Uwais, Special Adviser to the President on Social Investment said that about 120 million Nigerians or 60 per cent of the population live on less than two dollars a day.
``For us as a government, tackling this problem is crucial to ensuring inclusive growth where all Nigerians are part of the country’s development process.
``In our resolve to address this problem, we decided to formulate a National Social Safety Net Programme (NASSAP) which is a single register that will remove errors of inclusion and exclusion.
`` It will also insulate beneficiaries selection from political influence and traditional distortions,’’ he said.
He explained that the single register relies on a community based targeting approach by which every community knows the poor amongst them.
He added that government has developed a manual to guide the establishment of the register.

CSKA Moscow player Ahmed Musa has handed over the captainship of the Super Eagles to the team's current longest serving player John Obi Mikel.
Announcing the development before the media on Thursday, Musa said ; “I’m no longer the Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi is the Super Eagles captain.”
Obi who played his first match for the country ten years ago acknowledged Musa as a “wonderful professional."
The change is believed to be at the instance of team coach Samson Siasia who favours the captain's role being taken by the longest serving player.
