Security and Civil Defense Corps, and his entire family were wiped
out.

told Vanguard on phone that " we carried out a raid this morning
around Hotoro general area where we killed a member of a terrorist
group and arrested two during the operation"
Lt. Iweha however, did not disclose the identity of those killed and
arrested during the operation , adding that "we don't have their
nominal roll and can not say who was killed and arrested but
investigation would certainly revealed their identity."
