Troops of the Operation Lafiya Dole have killed top Boko Haram terrorists in a military operation in the northeast.

The Coordinator of Defence Media Operations, Major General JOHN ENENCHE, confirmed this in a statement obtained by newsmen.

According to him, the death of the insurgents followed a failed “attack on troops’ location at Banki Junction and Response Area Firgi within the 7 Division Strike Group.”

ENENCHE noted that the terrorists who met their waterloo were some high ranking Commanders of the Abubakar Shekau’s faction of the Boko Haram terrorist’s group.

He said a large number of their equipment including gun trucks, motorcycles and bicycles were destroyed by troops in collaboration with the Air Task Force.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General TUKUR BURATAI has commended “the gallant troops for their resilience, courage and dedication to ending the North East security challenge.”
