BREAKING: Troops Kill Boko Haram Terrorists In Fresh Borno Attack

According to the Nigerian Army, scores of Boko Haram insurgents were killed by troops of Operation Hadin Kai while attempting to raid Rann, the headquarters of the Kala Balge Council Area in Borno State.

The terrorists were repelled by the army while attempting to infiltrate the city’s entrance, according to Director Army Public Relations Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima.

“Boko Haram terrorists attempted an audacious attack on troops of Operation Hadin Kai in Rann, the headquarters of Kala Balge LGA of Borno State, just hours into the tenure of Chief of Army Staff Gen Faruk Yahaya,” the statement stated. Terrorists arrived in large numbers, mounted on gun trucks and attempted to infiltrate the main entrance to the town.

“The highly spirited troops were right on hand to counter the move and inflicted humiliating defeat on the terrorists who abandoned their evil mission and took to their heels.

“The troops chased the retreating terrorist and ensured there was no further threat to the town and its residents. Troops successfully destroyed one of the gun trucks and recovered multiple weapons including one anti aircraft gun, two machine guns and eight AK-47 rifles neutralising ten terrorists in the process.”
