More details have emerged about the victory Nigerian troops recorded today at Konduga, near Maiduguri, in Borno state. Military sources confirm that at least 120 Boko Haram fighters were killed today as the terrorists succumbed to the Nigerian military firepower.
A credible security source said the encounter in Konduga lasted between 4am and 12 noon today.
“This was the happiest outing by troops of the 7 Division in recent times.
“Almost all the terrorists that mobilized for the Konduga attack were killed. Two of them were arrested and the simple fact is that the Boko Haram suffered a major defeat this time around. They came when our men were ready for them.
“All the vehicles they came with were either shelled or confiscated. About six of the vehicles have been taken to the Maimalari Barracks so far and more are on the way.
“Our troops also recovered dozens of rifles and explosives. A suicide bomber was also intercepted and killed.
“A cameraman that they came with in order to cover their planned atrocity was also killed and the remnant of the camera recovered,” he said.
