In what looked like a tactical operation, the Nigerian military troops have eliminated 38 Boko Haram terrorists who attempted to attack a military base in Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State on Sunday evening.

It was gathered that five soldiers, however, were killed during the incident.

A top military intelligence officer told PRNigeria that the bodies of the terrorists were recovered during a mopping-up operation.

The source said: “I can confirm to you that the tactical joint operation involving the ground troops and the air component successfully eliminated scores of Boko Haram terrorists who attempted to attack a military post.

“While the ground troops fought them with superior weapons for more than two hours, fighter helicopters from the air tactical unit of the Nigerian Air force eliminated fleeing terrorists. So far, we have recovered gun trucks, RPG and other sophisticated weapons from the terrorists.”
