Nigerian soldiers kill 5 Boko Haram militants and capture 1 of them alive

Five Boko Haram terrorists were killed and one was seized alive by Operation Hadin Kai soldiers in Borno State.

According to reports, the military were able to do this on Thursday while acting on reliable information that some militants were relocating from Borno’s northern region to the Mafa axis.

Zagazola Makama, a security analyst and counterinsurgency expert in Lake Chad, received confirmation from intelligence sources that forces had set up an ambush for the terrorists and had immediately killed five of them.

However, the sources claimed that the detained terrorist was sent to the military for additional examination.

The sources claim that the troops were enforcing their control over the region with aggressive patrols and were also hunting down and neutralizing other terrorists.
