The spokesman for the Nigerian Army, Mohammed Yerima said that the security forces launched an attack on Boko Haram forces in Musuri and Galwa villages. A number of weapons were recovered and 60 women and children were saved during the operation.

At Musuri, troops encountered elements of the terrorist group and swiftly engaged them in a firefight which lasted for about 45 minutes.
