15 Boko Haram Fighters Killed After Audacious Attack on Borno Community
No fewer than 15
Boko Haram Fighters were killed after a surprise attack by the sect on
soldiers of the 3 Battalion and the 122 Task Force Battalion in Rann, a small
community in Borno State on Friday.
According to the
Nation, the shootout which lasted several hours was believed to be initiated
by terrorists dislodged from Sambisa Forest.
A military source
in the NAF said: “four wounded soldiers were today evacuated from the battle
front in Rann to Maiduguri for medical treatment.”
It was gathered
that the NAF responded swiftly to a call for evacuation of the wounded soldiers
as the four soldiers who were wounded in the firefight, were evacuated by a
Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Augusta Helicopter, a recent addition to the NAF’s
fleet from the Presidential Air Fleet (PAF).
Ammunition
recovered from the Boko Haram invaders yesterday include two AK47 rifles, one
M21 rifle, four FN rifles, 20 X 7.62MM special, 4 X FN extra magazine and some
locally made bombs.
