Cute Family Weekend

      

As the war against insurgents in some parts of Borno State continued yesterday with the military still carrying on the coordinated ground and air mop operations, our correspondent has learnt that another 53 terrorists were killed as they opened fire on troops combing the bushes.

Military sources said that the pursuit was an aftermath of the “diversionary terrorists attacks on Maiduguri and Konduga, which have led to the destruction of many lives, including some troops and the terrorists as well as properties.”

“Security sources confirmed that at least 53 more terrorists lost their lives as troops in pursuit of terrorists engaged those that fled and their additional reinforcements in the outskirts of Konduga and Maiduguri in a battle on Sunday night and yesterday’s morning.”

Several machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, as well as, improvised explosive devices were destroyed by the troops.

The source noted, "Health and emergency workers are having hectic challenges in evacuating terribly mangled corpses of the terrorists for mass burial."

Meanwhile, a tweet on the Twitter handle of Defence Headquarters disclosed that a substantial number of heavy weapons have been recovered in addition to the number of terrorists that died in the night fighting till Monday’s morning. 

It added unfortunately that Nigerian forces also recorded some casualty but that "troops and Air force patrol are still ongoing."
