Nigerian military has continued to deal heavy blows on Boko haram terrorists operating in the north eastern part of Nigeria.
Competent military sources disclosed that that early Wednesday morning, the troops successfully crushed an apparent revenge mission by the terrorists who attempted another march on the Borno State town where over 100 of them were killed last week.
Reports said Boko Haram fighters surfaced in Konduga last night heavily armed . Konduga is about 50 kilometres to Maiduguri, Borno State capital.
After a fierce battle lasting more than 12 hours in the outskirts of the town, scores of the terrorists were again kolled this morning.
“Right now, our troops are combing the vicinity of the battle scene in a cordon and search operation to determine the exact casualty figures suffered by the terrorists in the encounter,” a defence source declared.
During the encounter, three Hilux vehicles, one armoured personnel carrier and a cache of arms and ammunition were confirmed captured by the troops.
