It was a black Sunday for Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists in Borno as Nigerian troops dealt them two devastating blows, killed over 26 of them and seized their weapons.

In the first operation, as reported by Nigerian Army spokesman, Brigadier-General Onyema Nwachukwu, troops of the Joint Task Force of Hadin Kai at Kumshe foiled an attempted attack by Boko Haram terrorists.

The terrorists, who arrived on four gun trucks and several motorcycles attempted to infiltrate and attack the camp through the northern part of the troops’ deployment.
