Heavy Casualty On The Side Of Boko Haram As Nigerian Troops Celebrate Killing Hundreds Of Insurgents

Today Wednesday September 17 was one to remember at least for now as the Nigerian troops successfully repelled an attempt by members of the dreaded Boko Haram sects who were on a revenge mission to Konduga, in Borno State.

According to a statement by Defence HQ, 3 Hilux vehicles, 1 Amoured Personnel Carrier and a cache of arms and ammunition were captured by the troops. Hundreds of the militants were also said to have been killed by the military.

Troops are by now combing the vicinity, in a cordon and search operation to determine the heavy casualties suffered by the terrorists in the encounter. More pictures of captured armoured tanks after the cut
