Boko Haram Fighters, Soldiers Die In Bloody Ambush

Scores of Boko Haram terrorists and some Nigerian troops died on Tuesday evening in a failed ambush by the terrorists after a successful operation by Nigerian soldiers along the Maiduguri-Damboa Road.

It was gathered that the ambush was laid as the soldiers returned from what was considered a successful operation.

PRNigeria, the quasi-government information clearing house gathered that the insurgents confronted the troops in an unexpected reprisal attack in the evening.

A military intelligence source told PRNigeria that the terrorists launched the ambush on the Nigerian troops between the towns of Limanti and Bulabulin, while returning from patrol.

The troops, with the support of a team of soldiers from nearby military bases dispatched for reinforcement, successfully repelled the attack.

Scores of terrorists were killed during operations while the Nigerian troops also recorded casualties.

Though PRNigeria could not ascertain the number of casualties suffered by the troops, it was however gathered from a reliable military source that the air component’s attempt to engage the terrorists was unsuccessful due to bad weather.

The incident occurred after several Boko Haram fighters had been eliminated and their gun truck destroyed in another operation by the combined efforts of the land and air forces of the Nigerian military, who foiled a terrorists’ attack at Gubio town.
