The statement read;
“During the incident, eight Boko Haram terrorists were neutralised and unconfirmed number escaped with gunshots wounds.
“Unfortunately, three soldiers were fatally wounded and later gave up the ghost at the military medical reception station at kukawa military location.
“The Nigerian Armed Forces wishes to assure the general public that there is no going back in its struggle to see to the rebuilding and resettlement efforts for the displaced people.
“The futile attempt by the terrorists to thwart it only spurred the gallant troops for more decisive action.”
The Defence Spokesperson asked residents of Kukawa to go about their normal lawful businesses without any hindrance and also enjoined them to always avail the troops and other security agencies of credible information about the terrorists and any suspicious persons accordingly.
